FORMATION OF THE MECHANISM FINANCING CREATING FOREST BELTS IN AGRICULTURAL AREAS OF ORENBURG REGION (ON THE EXAMPLE OF SUUNDUK RIVER)
The article considers an approach to the formation of a mechanism for financing artificial afforestation in the water protection zones of the Suunduk river. The research methodology is based on the analysis of data on weighted average inputs of ammonium nitrogen and total phosphorus from arable land located within the boundaries of the river basin, and on their basis a fixed rate of payment for diffuse pollution of river waters is calculated. As a result of the research, an approximate economic assessment of the environmental damage caused to a water body as a result of contaminated diffuse runoff entering its river waters is given, and the level of payment for the removal of pollutants from 1 ha of arable land is calculated.
