[Therapeutic factors of lake Tagarskoye].

The results of comprehensive long-term investigations of therapeutic factors of Lake Tagarskoye, Krasnoyarsk krai (territory) are presented. It is shown that, in addition to favourable climatic conditions, the area of interest has a variety of therapeutic hydromineral resources the structure and quality of which are subject to marked seasonal and annual variations. The thorough analysis made it possible to elucidate dynamics of these changes and monitor qualitative characteristics of the resources; also, it promoted the search for methods of their more extensive exploitation and the development of the rationale for designation of Lake Tagarskoye and the surrounding locations as a strictly protected natural area.
