Abstract. The ravine terrain acts as an unfavorable factor. This has to be taken into account when developing the territory. The purpose of the article is to describe and analyze the ravine network of the Cheboksary urban district, including existing and filled ravines. The parameters of the ravines were studied: direction, length, location in relation to urban subdistricts and of Cheboksary, and the slope values. Cartographic material was developed on the distribution of active and filled-in ravines in the Cheboksary urban district. It was established that there is an equal ratio of active and filled ravines within the city district. Most of the active ravines are located on the right bank of the Volga River. The rest exist near the rivers Sugutka, Trusikha, and Cheboksarka and their tributaries. Among the active ravines, slope, coastal, and bottom genetic types are identified. The research shows predominance of sloping types of ravines. Recommendations are given on preventing development of various types of ravines for the Cheboksary urban district and territories with similar exogenous processes.

 

Keywords: elimination of ravine formation processes, buried ravine-girder network, anti-erosion measures, Cheboksary city district, exogenous processes.
