Abstract

In the large cities territory accomplishment the gullies and balkas should be efficiently used as recreation zones. Construction of no kind is acceptable on the former gullied areas, even if they are filled with made ground, since animation of washout and land subsidence is possible. There are numerous examples of recreation use of gullied land in Moscow and in the other towns; some concrete examples are described. The gullies monitoring is needed when there is possibility of new erosion activity.
