Work on the improvement of rivers and lakes will be carried out in 49 regions of Russia in 2024 as part of the national Ecology project.
According to the press service of the Federal Agency for Water Resources, 3.4 billion rubles have been allocated for these purposes.
The funding is aimed at clearing riverbeds, lakes and reservoirs. It is expected that by the end of 2024, almost 177 km of riverbeds will be cleaned, and over 3,900 hectares of reservoirs will be restored. The measures are aimed at improving the environmental living conditions for more than two million Russians.
More than 40 riverbed cleaning and environmental rehabilitation activities are planned in key reservoirs of the country, including the Volga, Ob, Yenisei, Amur, Onega Lake and Baikal.
