The project
of eco-rehabilitation of the Lebyazhie lakes system is of great importance for
the city's ecosystem. We will significantly improve the whole ecological
situation in the territory of Big Kazan by the restoration of lakes. Given that
the city does not have many places for recreation on water, we just do not have
the right for mistakes. Therefore, we are well prepared: we have discussed all
the works repeatedly with ecologists and received their full approval. The
opinion of ecologists in the recovery of the Lebyazhie is more important than
the opinion of the builders.
In general,
the scale of the work is impressive. The restored reservoir can be compared by
the volume with Kazanka River in the water area from the Kirovskaya to the
Leninskaya dams. This is a huge water mirror! The area of the water surface
will increase to 36 hectares. Such a large-scale project became possible due to
the support of Rustam Minnikhanov, the President of the RT, who first launched
the program of parks and squares, and then the improvement of the water areas
of the republic. And of course, I want to thank the group of companies “TAIF”,
which is acting as the general sponsor of the implementation of the
eco-rehabilitation project for the lakes system Lebyazhie.
I am
confident that together we will be able to restore this unique object so that
vacationers and ecologists will be pleased and the shores of lakes will again
be a favorite recreation place on the water for Kazan citizens.
