Substantiation of fire prevention lockage in the Meshcher lowland
There are considered questions of fire prevention on the drained peatbogs of the Meshcher lowland being a consequence of the abnormal hot and dry summer of 2010. Fires on the drained peatbogs arise as a result of the ground water level lowering and their capillary fringe tearing off from soil peat horizons. Lockage is proposed as a method of fires control.
