The shape of the pond fits into the natural landscape. If this is an urban environment, then you can make the shape geometric (circle, rectangle). With a plot size of 6 acres, the area of the pond should be no more than 9 m2. The depth of the reservoir should be at least half a meter for plants; if fish are also planned, then 1.5 m.
To arrange the shape of a reservoir, you can take ready-made structures (plastic, fiberglass). You can make your own form. To do this, it is necessary to carry out excavation work and waterproofing.
A pit is dug 15 cm deeper than planned.
The slope of the walls should not exceed 45°. The walls and bottom are cleared of stones and roots. A 15 cm layer of sand is poured onto the bottom.
For waterproofing, several layers of film or rubberized fabric are used. The edges of the material extend 80 cm beyond the edges of the pit. These free edges are pressed with beautiful stones and earth, forming the walls of the reservoir. In an urban environment, a concrete base is used instead of film.
Aquatic plants used in ponds can be purchased from nurseries. Types of aquatic plants: floating, oxygen generators, coastal. Floating Hydrocharis, hyacinths, utricularia, hornworts. They don't need soil. Such plants are planted 1 pc. per 1 m2. In winter they are removed indoors.
Oxygenators hornworts, water buttercups, swampweeds, elodea. They saturate the water with oxygen and prevent the pond from becoming overgrown with algae. Several plants are collected in a bunch, tied to a stone, and lowered into water. Coastal plants marigold, reeds, cattails, hostas, daylilies.
Water devices are very important in the composition landscape. Water creates a special microclimate and has great aesthetic significance. All water structures are divided into natural and artificial. Natural ones include rivers, lakes, ponds, and artificial ones include artificial lakes, ponds, pools, fountains.
Natural bodies of water require landscaping work such as strengthening slopes and cleaning the bottom. Methods for strengthening slopes are different; when choosing a method, attention should be paid to the aesthetic perception of the structure.
Strengthening the shores of lakes and ponds is difficult. It is necessary to ensure the stability of the slopes. To do this, they build a low (banquet) wall, which is brought to the middle water line, including piles (wooden or reinforced concrete) in it. Low wall fastening helps preserve biological connections inside the reservoir. The surface located above the wall is also reinforced with various materials.
The surface of the slope can be sown with grasses, or turf can be laid on top of it. Such strengthening is suitable for slopes of lakes, ponds, rivers, and slopes of
52
embankment watercourses. In places with frequent rises of water and waves, strengthening can be carried out in the following ways:
- masonry;
- concrete formwork with holes (20 × 20 cm) for sowing seeds;
- slope trim.
In the forest-park zone, rivers and streams are strengthened using easier methods: planting willow rods, planting seedlings of woody plants.
An artificial lake is a deep-water body of water that has an inflow and outflow of water that creates a current. The design of this reservoir is carried out by a group of specialists; the development involves a thorough analysis of the territory and layout of the facility. The bottom of the lake is usually designed with a slope, the shores of the lake must emphasize the landscape and be combined with it; It is advisable to have multiple viewpoints.
An artificial pond is a deep water structure, it is fed by surface meltwater, rainwater and underground groundwater. The size of a pond is usually smaller than the size of a lake and can be used for swimming, sports, boating, and fish habitat. Ponds are created by digging a pit. The pond must include a power source, hydraulic structures (dam), and drain pipes for cleaning the reservoir.
Ponds differ in their food sources (flowing and non-flowing). For flowing ponds, the food sources are rivers, streams, groundwater, and spring waters. Non­flowing ponds have different power sources: city water pipelines, water from other reservoirs, surface water runoff.
Ponds exist both single and systemic, with a depth of at least 1 m near the shore and up to 4.5 m in the middle. The slope should have a slope degree of 1 : 5 from the shore. This prevents the pond from becoming overgrown and causing odor.
When constructing the bottom of a pond, great attention is paid to preventing water from escaping into the ground; for this purpose, the bottom of the pond is made of clay. After laying the clay, a layer of gravel is laid down and then covered with sand. This insulation ensures the bottom is waterproof. For small ponds, it is possible to use cobblestones laid over clay.
If the pond is small, waterproofing can be achieved by covering the bottom with sheets of roofing felt or roofing felt on bitumen. To do this, lay 1–2 layers overlapping the seams by 8–10 cm. The seams are covered with bitumen in layers. The layer should rise 0.4–0.5 m above the water. After laying the insulation, you can cover the bottom with a 5 cm layer of sand, and the edges can be reinforced with gravel and decorated with cobblestones.
53
Swimming pools are artificial reservoirs with a bowl for filling and draining water. Outdoor pools are mainly used in landscapes. The functions of a pool can be different: educational, swimming, children's, sports, decorative.
A project must be done for the pool. The shape is most often rectangular, but there may be others. The length of the swimming pool must be at least 12.5 m.
The pool is completely or partially buried in the ground. The bottom and walls are made of reinforced concrete, waterproofed and covered with decorative material. Access to water, electricity and drainage is required.
Decorative pools add elegance to the landscape; to be decorative, their size should not exceed 1/5–1/8 of the size of the surrounding space. The shape of such pools can be different (circle, oval, rectangle, smooth natural outlines). Their area is from 10 m2.
Various materials, stones, vases, bridges, and sculptures can be used to decorate the banks. The bottom can be decorated with tiles of different colors, mosaics, and lighting. The areas around the pool can be paved with tiles. The selection of plants near the pool is also of great importance (junipers, thujas, Thunberg barberries, irises, bergenia, daylily, bellflower, delphinium, aquilegia, astilbe are suitable).
If you plan to grow aquatic plants, make a hole for them by placing a concrete bowl there, which is removed for winter storage.
A waterfall is a stream of water falling from a height of several meters. Waterfalls are installed at differences in relief and are often the main element of the composition. The banks and beds of waterfalls are decorated with stones and plants. With a regular garden style, the waterfall is accompanied by small architectural forms made of granite, marble, etc.
Thresholds are obstacles to the flow of water, created with the help of large stones.
Cascades are low-height waterfalls (0.5–0.8 m) with ledges. The cascade is combined with other water devices. Canals are artificial water conduits that can connect reservoirs. They have a clear geometric shape, their depth is 2–4 m. The banks of the canals are reinforced with piles, the slopes with turf.
Streams (channels) are artificially created open water conduits that connect reservoirs and can vary in width. The banks are reinforced with stone masonry, and in the non-flooded part - with herbal plants and shrubs. In gardens, streams made of durable polymers are used, and special pumps are used to move water.
Ditches are small reservoirs used for discharging water and can be decorative by decorating the walls with appropriate materials.
54
Fountains are devices that shoot out jets of water. Water flow should not exceed 50–60 l/s. They can be supplied with water from a water supply system, a pump, or gravity flow from a reservoir. For the winter, the fountains are emptied of water. The fountain is usually the center of the composition (especially in the regular style).
Sources (springs) are fountain structures used for decorative and economic purposes (means of water supply).
A spring is a low bowl or stone structure from which spring water flows or into which it flows.
Drinking fountains serve for drinking purposes.
Reservoir cleaning techniques. Cleaning the bottom of natural structures can be done in the following ways:
- with pumping out water;
- without pumping out water.
In the first method, all the water from the reservoir is pumped into another reservoir or storm drain, and the bottom is left to dry for several days. Then all the sludge is raked up and transported by dump trucks to storage areas, where after 1 year it can be used for landscaping. The cleaned bottom is leveled, a layer of drainage 20 cm thick is poured, and the banks are strengthened.
In the second method, the reservoir is cleaned with various devices dredgers. All water devices require constant care. In summer and other periods, garbage is removed daily from the surface of the water. It is necessary to monitor the condition of banks, dams, cascades, etc., and repair faults; It is regularly necessary to remove vegetation with a rake and put it in special compost pits. Major repairs involve cleaning the bottom from accumulated silt.
Cleaning is carried out in autumn-winter and early spring. In late autumn, when ice has formed, the water is pumped out. The ice is lowered onto the ground and transported by escalator along with the sludge on dump trucks. In small reservoirs with water discharge, cleaning is carried out once every 2–3 years. During the warm season, coastal areas are repaired.
In winter, in reservoirs where waterfowl nest, they cut out lye in the ice, install a compressor unit, and set the water in motion, preventing it from freezing. In gardens and parks, there are swimming pools where there are devices for cleaning, disinfection and the water is recycled. It is best to change the volume of water daily.
The lighting must also be constantly working so that the intended effect of evening lighting does not disappear. Aquatic plants are pruned, thinned and partially removed to avoid overgrowth. Remove rhizomes (partially) 2–3 times a year. In winter, ice holes are made with pumping out excess water and insulation, or the water is completely pumped out.
55
Small reservoirs with vegetation are completely covered with insulation for the winter. In the spring, the insulation is removed. To combat unwanted vegetation, fish recommended are grass carp and silver carp. In small gardens, filter complexes are used.
2.13. INTERIOR DECORATION
With the help of indoor plants you can create a natural atmosphere in any apartment. Having indoor plants is a must, especially in rooms where a lot of time is spent. But in order for the plant to take root indoors, certain conditions must be met.
If there is a lot of furniture in the room, flowers will not take root and will depress people. If the wallpaper in the room is variegated, and there are also a lot of paintings, then variegated plants will look bad in such a room. It is necessary to choose plants of the same color and without flowers. In a monochromatic setting, on the contrary, bright and flowering plants look beautiful.
Flowers are placed at such a level that they can be observed from above and from the side. Tall plants should be placed on the floor, plants hanging down should be placed high.
Plants should be placed in compact groups and not spread throughout the room. Those plants that naturally grow in the same climate will look good next to each other. The composition of flowers should correspond to the size of the room so as not to clutter it.
Plants with openwork and light foliage look good against the background of dark walls; dark-leaved plants in a bright room. Furniture made of steel, glass, marble and lacquered wood will complement plants with distinct shapes or plants with a light and casual appearance. Orchids, ivy, jasmine, etc. are suitable for wicker furniture.
Bamboo and bonsai are suitable for a Japanese-style interior. Bushy, lushly flowering plants look good in French and English style interiors. Exotic and unusual plants look good in modern interiors.
The main rule: the simpler the interior, the more elegant the plants and the more refined the interior, the simpler the plants.
When decorating, it is also worth taking into account the fall of sunlight; if you place flowers against a wall illuminated by the sun, then the shadows will fall beautifully on the wall. If you place flowers against the light, their silhouette will be clearly visible. If the colors of curtains, wallpaper and furniture upholstery are repeated in the flowers of a plant, it looks very harmonious. If the interior is dominated by black and white colors, then the plants will enliven the interior with their bright colors.

SECTION 3. GARDEN AND PARK CONSTRUCTION AND FARMING
3.1. WORK ON ENGINEERING PREPARATION
OF THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE OBJECT’S TERRITORY
The composition and content of documentation for the planning of the territory, providing for the placement of one or more linear objects, are established by the Government of the Russian Federation.
Engineering surveys for the preparation of documentation on the planning of the territory are carried out in order to obtain materials about the natural conditions of the territory and factors of technogenic impact on the environment, forecasts of their changes in order to ensure the rational and safe use of the specified territory. They can also be carried out to obtain the materials necessary to establish the boundaries of the zones of the planned location of construction projects, clarify their parameters, establish the boundaries of land plots, materials necessary for organizing surface water flow, drainage of the territory, engineering protection and improvement territories.
The composition and scope of engineering surveys for the preparation of territory planning documentation, the method of their implementation are established taking into account the requirements of technical regulations by an engineering survey program developed on the basis of the instructions of the person who made the decision to prepare territory planning documentation.
The results of engineering surveys carried out to prepare documentation on territory planning can be used to prepare design documentation for capital construction projects.
Preparation of territorial planning projects is carried out to highlight the elements of the planning structure, establish the boundaries of public areas, and the boundaries of zones for the planned placement of capital construction projects.

The width of the highway and functional elements of the transverse profile is given with an accuracy of 0.01 m. Asymmetrical transverse profiles are accompanied by an explanatory inscription for the orientation of the profile relative to the plan.
Information is displayed in the form of one diagram or several diagrams (vertical layout of the territory, scheme of engineering preparation of the territory, scheme of engineering protection of the territory) as a part of the diagram, depending on ensuring the readability of lines and symbols.
3.3. TYPES OF TERRITORIES AND METHODS OF THEIR CULTIVATION
When carrying out urban planning activities, the characteristics of settlements must be taken into account, including the size of their population, the scientific and production specialization of these settlements, as well as the importance of settlements in the population settlement system and the administrative-territorial structure of the Russian Federation.
Settlements of the Russian Federation are divided into:
- urban (cities and towns);
- rural (villages, hamlets, auls, camps and other) settlements.
The main characteristics by which populated areas are divided are population size and connection with a certain type of activity.
Cities are large populated areas, most of whose residents are engaged in industry, science, culture and management. The minimum population of the city is 50 thousand people. The share of non-agricultural labor in them is 85 % or higher.
Satellite cities are located around towns and cities at a distance of 30–60 km. They help free large cities from overpopulation. Typically, satellite cities accommodate 60–80 thousand people. They contain residential areas and industrial enterprises. They also house scientific and educational institutions. The main condition for the location of such cities should be good transport connections with a large city.
In other countries, city classifications may differ; there, a few hundred people are enough to be called a city.
Cities are unique centers. Culture, industry and other sectors develop in them.
Cities are economical in terms of costs and expenses for maintaining communications and other types of improvement. Most of the existing cities are industrial. New territories are opening up in which populated areas, cities and towns are being built.
60
Urban-type settlements are settlements with a population of 500 to 12 thousand inhabitants; most of the population living there is engaged in industry and other areas.
Rural populated areas, the predominant activity of which is agriculture, are divided into villages and hamlets.
Villages are small settlements, villages are larger ones, they are usually centers of production, as well as administrative centers. Depending on the population, urban and rural settlements are respectively divided into:
- super-large cities (population over 3 million people);
- largest cities (population from 1 million to 3 million people);
- large cities (population from 250 thousand to 1 million people);
- big cities (population from 100 thousand to 250 thousand people);
- medium-sized cities (population from 50 thousand to 100 thousand people);
- small towns and villages (population up to 50 thousand people);
- large rural settlements (population over 5 thousand people);
- big rural settlements (population from 1 thousand to 5 thousand people);
- medium-sized rural settlements (population from 200 to 1 thousand people);
- small rural settlements (population less than 200 people).
Settlements that are of temporary importance and have a variable population composition and are objects of service purpose in the relevant sector of the economy (railway booths, houses of foresters, beacon workers, field camps, etc.), as well as single houses, are under the jurisdiction of the municipalities with which these settlements are associated connected in administrative, production or territorial relations.
Depending on the type of settlement, the type and content of urban planning documentation, the procedure for its development, coordination and approval are established in accordance with the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation and the regulatory legal acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
Urban planning requirements for the conditions and procedure for the use of settlement lands are established by the Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation and federal laws and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, laws and other regulatory legal acts of constituent entities of the Russian Federation and regulatory legal acts of local government bodies adopted in accordance with it.
Taking into account the predominant functional use, the city territory is divided into residential, industrial and landscape-recreational.
The residential area is intended: for the placement of housing stock, public buildings and structures, including research institutes and their complexes, as well as individual municipal and industrial facilities that do not require the construction of
