Abstract

Relevance. Currently, the creation of new institutions for the health improvement of the population within the Republic of Tuva on the basis of natural objects is a very urgent issue.

Objectives. In this regard, we considered the hydrochemical composition of the lakes of the Turano-Uyuk depression, their ecological state and prospects for balneological use.

Materials and methods. During field studies, employees of the TuvIKOPR SB RAS examined the largest natural lakes of the Turano-Uyuk depression and tested them to determine the chemical composition of natural waters. Chemical analysis was carried out in the Problem Research Laboratory of the National Tomsk Polytechnic University. In addition to field studies, a comparative literary method was used. Publications on this topic were studied and a retrospective analysis of the chemical composition of the waters of the lakes of the Turano-Uyuk depression and mud deposits as a therapeutic factor was carried out.

Results. The greatest prospects for balneological development are Lake Beloye (White Lakes), the waters of which, according to the «Classification of mineral waters and therapeutic muds...» (MU No. 2000/34), belong to group 7, the therapeutic effect of which is determined by the amount of mineralization and ion-salt composition.

Conclusions. The climatic conditions of the Turano-Uyuk basin, the presence of brackish (mineral) water and mineral mud (subject to the study of their balneological properties) open up prospects for organizing a resort, a health resort, a health resort on the shores of the lake, subject to the coordination of economic (balneological) activities with the Ministry of Forestry and Nature Management of the Republic of Tyva.
