City services specialists have begun rehabilitating two Kuntsevsky ponds in the western part of the capital. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Improvement. Petr Biryukov.
"The Kuntsevsky Ponds are located within a landscaped, green area of a natural complex and have remained a favorite recreation spot for local residents for many years. However, the ponds are currently in poor condition: large amounts of silt have accumulated at the bottom, and the shorelines are eroding. Therefore, a decision was made to undertake a comprehensive rehabilitation. We plan to complete the work by the end of this year," noted Pyotr Biryukov.
Specialists will remove silt from the ponds (300 cubic meters are planned to be removed), strengthen the banks, and create a bioplateau zone. The project will also shape the pond beds by filling the bottom with coarse sand and laying a waterproofing layer. This will restore the ponds' depth and minimize algae growth.
The ponds' shorelines, totaling 234 meters in length, will be reinforced with gabion structures. The above-water portion will be formed using natural stone. In the final stage, a bio-plateau area will be created in the waters of the second Kuntsevo Pond. Aquatic plants will be planted there this summer.
Experts regularly inspect the capital's water bodies and, if problems are identified, make decisions about rehabilitation. A list of water bodies is compiled annually, taking into account Muscovites' requests. A total of 19 ponds are scheduled for renovation in 2025.
