Employees urban economy complex The hydroelectric power plants have begun preparing for the upcoming spring floods. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Public Works. Petr Biryukov.
"Flooding in the capital region typically begins in late March or early April, and preparations have already begun. We are checking the functionality of hydraulic structures located on the Yauza and Desna rivers, the Likhoborskaya irrigation system, the Borisov Dam, the Moscow Canal, the Istra, Mozhaisk, and other reservoirs," noted Pyotr Biryukov.
In addition, cleaning of water drainage facilities is planned and round-the-clock monitoring of water levels is organized.
At hydraulic structures, power and mechanical equipment will be put into readiness, the technical condition of vehicles carrying power sources and pumping equipment will be checked, and additional emergency response teams will be formed.
The flood season will continue as normal due to the free capacity of the reservoirs of the Moskvoretsko-Vazuzskaya and Volzhskaya systems, which exceeds the water reserves in the snowpack—this will ensure that all meltwater runoff will be absorbed.
Moscow has approved special regulations for the interaction of city services during the spring floods. They define areas of responsibility, establish procedures, and provide a mechanism for the prompt exchange of data on the hydrological situation, water volumes, and flow rates.
