A number of Russian regions will receive additional funds in 2023–2024 for the cleaning and environmental rehabilitation of water bodies. About 230 million rubles will be allocated for these purposes. The order on the redistribution of these funds was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
“Thanks to federal funding, work will be carried out in St. Petersburg to clean up the ponds in the Tsarskoe Selo State Museum-Reserve. In addition, the large and small ponds in the Green Island recreation park in Cherkessk will be cleared. In the Krasnodar Territory and Rostov Region, federal funds will be used to implement the road map measures for improving the health of the Don,” the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources reported on its website.
In particular, 5.8 kilometers of the Grechanaya River bed will be cleared in Kuban. In the Rostov region, work will be carried out to clean up the right tributary of the Don, the Temernik River.
And in the Samara region, at the expense of federal subventions, the bed of the Syzranka River, which flows within the city limits of Syzran, will be cleared in a priority manner.
The work is being carried out within the framework of the federal project “Preservation of Unique Water Bodies,” the department noted.
