It is impossible to raise the groundwater level by overlapping floodgates of melioration system located here. Because channels are dry as well as the surrounding bets.

Burning of dry grass began in early November, 2019 and flame is still has not extinct. Flame went underground and peat has burnt. Pits up to 1.1 m deep burnt out near the Vyunnitsa River, before its confluence with the Oster River.
