Proposals for further improvement of the Volga were discussed in Samara Posting in CHAT: Russia On Friday, March 29, Governor Dmitry Azarov held a meeting of the public council on environmental safety with the participation of heads of ministries and departments, management and supervision bodies, municipalities, representatives of the scientific community, universities, and public organizations in the field of ecology. ecology and some regional enterprises. The participants discussed the implementation of instructions based on the results of previous meetings, work within the framework of the national project “Ecology” and some tasks related to improving the environmental safety of water bodies in the region. “We continue to work within the framework of the national project “Ecology”, implemented by the decision of the country’s President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. First of all, the environmental situation in the region, health, safety, and well-being of people. and also the effectiveness of our efforts in this area, issues of investment attractiveness of the region and much more depend on the economic component,” Dmitry Azarov noted, opening the meeting. In recent years, a lot has been done in the field of environmental safety. Thus, since 2019, as part of the federal project “Improving the Volga”, 11 wastewater treatment plants have been put into operation in the region, not counting those facilities that were put into operation by industrial companies. This made it possible to significantly reduce the discharge of contaminated wastewater into the Volga. This year it is planned to build 7 more facilities in cities and districts of the region. “This is a huge contribution to the improvement of our great Russian river, our heritage,” the governor emphasized. As part of the Clean Water project, 15 water supply facilities were built and reconstructed during the same period. More than 86% of the region's residents are provided with quality drinking water. In the near future, it is planned to build and reconstruct seven more facilities. The governor emphasized the importance of the council's joint work with the involvement of environmental organizations and public activists. “I am confident that when we create comfortable, safe living conditions for our compatriots and preserve the wealth of flora and fauna of the Samara region - this is our common goal, we will be able to achieve significant results in many other areas,” he concluded. At the meeting, new possibilities for solving the problem of purifying surface waters of reservoirs in the region from pollution associated with the presence of cyanobacteria were discussed. On this occasion, a report was heard from the director of the Samara Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Sergei Shevchenko. He said that this issue is being studied within the project office with the invitation of specialists from various departments. The phenomenon of “water blooms” caused by the development of cyanobacteria is characteristic of freshwater bodies around the world; the scale depends on the intensity of water exchange, climatic conditions - increased temperature, nutrient load and increased nitrogen levels. and phosphorus in water. Cyanobacteria are associated with risks in water use and fisheries. According to Sergei Shevchenko, in the Samara region special attention is paid to the Kuibyshev reservoir, the largest in Europe, with slow water changes. A new observation point was installed on the Kuibyshev reservoir near the village of Khryashchevka, 70 km above the dam of the Zhigulevskaya hydroelectric station. The main goal is to control the cross-border movement of food from the Ulyanovsk region to the Samara region. Two direct impact methods are being tested in the region to combat the massive development of cyanobacteria: a biological method of ecological rehabilitation of water bodies using acclimatized chlorella algae and a mechanical method of unloading algae from the surface of water bodies with subsequent removal. Among the necessary methods are reducing pollution entering waters from agricultural land, reducing the discharge of pollutants into sewers through the construction and modernization of treatment facilities, regulating the supply of water to hydroelectric power plants to increase flow, and others. The development of a monitoring system for water bodies is of great importance. According to the chairman of the council of the Samara regional branch of the All-Russian public organization “All-Russian Society for Nature Conservation” Vasily Pavlovsky, solving this problem in relation to the Volga only in the Samara region will not give the desired result. . - it requires a lot of effort. According to Yulia Khlynina, acting head of the interregional director of Rosprirodnadzor for the Samara and Ulyanovsk regions, the agency has been conducting monitoring for the third year, on the basis of which a publicly accessible map of water bodies in the Volga region has been created. and critical pollution points were identified. A federal program is being implemented to measure small rivers and determine the impact of their tributaries on the Volga. At the meeting, it was proposed to create a unified monitoring information center in Samara that would coordinate all work in each region. This proposal was supported by the chief researcher at the Institute of Ecology of the Volga Basin of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a branch of the Samara Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vladimir Seleznev. He reported on the reports of the scientific center at the level of the State Duma and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation. “The Samara region is now initiating the need to join forces to solve the problem of pollution of the Volga, in this case by cyanobacteria, but not only by them.” The institute uses experimental research methods that study the effect of organic pollutants on the state of water. Based on the results of this work, it will be possible to propose at the regional level to adjust the maximum permissible emission standards, which differ from the federal ones - regions have this right. So the card system will take into account the current problems of the Volga waters. Dmitry Azarov noted that, having studied this issue in detail, he is ready to raise it at the federal level: “I am ready to bring this topic and the issue of coordinating efforts also to the State Council in the direction of “Ecology and environmental management.” Resources." I think this topic is worth mentioning there.” Deputy Director for Scientific Work of the Samara Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Agricultural Sciences Alexey Vasin spoke about the publication in 2023 of the “Black Book of Plants of the Samara Region”. The work on it was carried out by a team of authors, including representatives of different universities in the region. The book reflects the problem of the introduction of alien plant species and their widespread distribution - an invasion that leads to a reduction in biodiversity and affects public health. Some of the most striking and well-known examples of such plants are Sosnovsky's hogweed and ragweed. The “Black Book of Plants of the Samara Region” contains a list of the most aggressive invasive and potentially invasive species of the region’s flora, information about introduction methods and detection methods, problems associated with these plant species, as well as initiatives. fight. Their publication of the book provides the necessary foundation for continued research on biological invasions in the region. Dmitry Azarov thanked the authors and reviewers of the publication for the work done in a short time. The regional manager emphasized that the book would be useful to a large number of specialists in many industries, and instructed that it also be distributed to agricultural producers. And about. The head of the Interregional Department of Rosprirodnadzor for the Samara and Ulyanovsk regions, Yulia Khlynina, reported on the results of the department’s work in 2023 as part of the implementation of the federal project “General Cleaning”. The project allows you to receive co-financing for the elimination of objects of accumulated environmental damage. Following the meeting, Dmitry Azarov noted the development of issues and a meaningful discussion. “Each of the reports should become an impetus for the further work of the ministry and other authorized bodies,” he emphasized. The head of the region instructed to urgently draw up a protocol of decisions of the public council. Source link Source link
