Discharges of polluted wastewater into the Volga River basin have almost halved in 5 years due to the installation of sewage treatment plants and wastewater disposal facilities, said Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
"The Volga is one of the main symbols of our country. I will tell you about the work done to preserve the ecosystem of the river over the past few years. Since 2019, according to the "Improvement of the Volga River" federal project, we have been installing sewage treatment plants and wastewater disposal facilities. In just five years, 104 facilities were commissioned, thanks to which the discharge of polluted wastewater into the Volga River was almost halved," Khusnullin wrote in his channel on the Telegram social network.
The implementation of ecological projects, he pointed out, allows not only to improve the state of the environment, but also to improve the standard of living of Russian citizens.
