Ponezhukay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ponezhukay (Russian: Понежукай; Adyghe: Пэнэжьыкъуай) is an aul (village) in the Republic of Adygea, Russia, located on the Apchas River (Kuban's drainage basin) near Krasnodar Reservoir, 80 km north of Maykop. It is the administrative center of Teuchezhsky District. Population: 3,388 (2002 Census).
There are no educational facilities above the level of secondary school in the aul.
A hospital serving the entire district was built here in 2006. The majority of the construction expenses were funded with the personal money of then President of Adygea Hazret Sovmen[1].
The landfill in Ponezhukay is located within the territory of the water protection zone (on the right slope of the Shunduk River), as well as in the vicinity of forests and agricultural lands, and is considered to pose high ecological risk since the time of its opening in 2001[2].
