To the west of the Ovruch meriman, in the volosts of Norynskaya and Pokalevskaya, there are much more swamps and they account for about 15°/o of the entire area; in the first of them they are concentrated to the west, especially in the upper reaches of the river. Moshchanitsy: 1) “Moshchanitskoye” swamp, 8 long, wide. 1'/2-2 ver., 2-5 feet deep, sandy bottom; 2) “Bervitskos” (length 2, width. '/w ver.) shallow and 3) swamp "Kopiskoe Galo," fully accessible in its western part, up to $ length and width up to! dries up, which in many places is accessible to Carts.
In the remaining volosts located to the northeast from the river.. Even to the west of the Ovruch city, swamps cover!/t-!/5 part of the surface, and their number and size increase from the southeast to the northwest; for the most part, these are shallow, forest swamps, deep and here
A little.
The more significant ones include: in the Gorod-lnitskaya volost, north-east of the village of Maidan Berez-znitsk, the “/Kuravel” swamp - east of the village of Dubniki; vj Selishchi volost - between the village of N. Guta and Levachi; in Vereznyanskaya - to the west of the village of Balashevki (the depth of the peat layer in all these swamps reaches up to 1-1'] "arsh.). ) In the Lyubikovichi and, partly, Vyrkovskaya volosts, a strip of swamps, about 5 versts wide, stretches along the right bank of the Sluch (from which it is separated by the pith of high sandy hills), from the drained Marochno swamp to the road from the lake. Kornilovka in the village of Rudnya; Crossing this swamp, even in the dry summer, is possible in very few places. Swamps, stretching from the village. Karasin past the village of Ozery to the dl. Shaki, much more passable, hfm previous. A huge swampy area between the villages of Karasin, Rudnya, Klessovo, Tomashgrol and Yelna, merging to the east with a very serious Gallo swamp; The depth of these swamps is so significant that in some places it reaches up to 15 arsh. (Rostoki swamp in the area where the Lev River flows).
There are so many swamps in the Kosorichskaya and Olevskaya volosts that they occupy almost one-fifth of the entire surface, but there are few of them that are any serious; most are no deeper than 1-1'/>arsh..
Emilchinskaya, 7Kubrovichskaya, Luginskaya and Yurkovskaya volosts differ little in this respect from Olevskaya, although recently, thanks to drainage work, the number of swamps and their depth have decreased.
Bolfe are serious of the swamps: in the Emilchinskaya volost, on the right bank of the Ubort, the “Gally” swamp, stretching under different names dalfe to the north through the 7 Kubrovichskaya volost and connecting at the southern border of the Yurovskaya volost with the swamps of the river. Bee bread; 8 open swamps (Gorbashi and Pola) to the west of the village. Zubkovichi up to 6 versts long, '/"—1"/" wide ver. each. Forest swamps, mainly, have been exterminated!

In the Slavechanskaya volost, the swamps stretch in a continuous strip along the borders with the Yurovskaya volost; on the northeast coast - along the borders of the Minsk province, on the south they are connected with the Moshchanitsky swamps. Their properties are the same as in the Yurkovsky volost.
Thus, it turns out that only 13 North-Western volosts are rich in swamps, and even then most of them are so shallow, but the overall drop in depth is so significant that draining them does not seem difficult.
