Specialists urban utilities complex they have begun the rehabilitation of Yegersky Pond in the east of the capital. The reservoir, covering an area of more than 1.5 hectares, will be cleared of silt, its shoreline will also be repaired, and bioplato zones will be created in the pond. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Communal Services and Improvement Petr Biryukov.
“Egersky Pond is located in close proximity to Sokolniki Park and has been a favorite recreation spot for local residents for many years. However, during an inspection, it was found that the water body is in an unsatisfactory condition: large volumes of silt deposits have accumulated at the bottom, and there is erosion of the shoreline. In this regard, a decision was made to carry out comprehensive rehabilitation of the pond, with the work planned to be completed by the end of this year,” noted Petr Biryukov.
Specialists will extract a total volume of more than six thousand cubic meters of silt deposits. This will allow restoring the necessary depth and reducing the intensity of the water area’s algal bloom. Then, across the entire bottom area, they will lay a waterproofing membrane covered with sand, which will help address the problem of water loss. In addition, the shoreline will be restored over a total length of more than 570 meters — the above-water part will be formed by backfilling with sand and soil, after which a lawn cover will be laid. Gabion structures will be used to strengthen the underwater sections. In the final stage of work, five bio-plateau zones with a total area of almost 1,400 square meters will be arranged in different parts of the reservoir. Aquatic plants will be planted there during the warm season.
Specialists regularly examine the capital’s water bodies. When problems are identified, a decision is made to carry out rehabilitation. The list of water bodies is compiled annually, taking into account the wishes of Muscovites.
