<p> The work on eco-rehabilitation and improvement of Maryino Lake has been completed in the Novo-Savinovsky district of Kazan. The Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin inspected the transformation of the eco-park. </p> <p> The SMU-88 construction company took the initiative to improve the lake in 2018. Before starting work, the lake was studied by scientists of the Kazan Federal University. </p> <p> Eco-rehabilitation of the lake started in April 2020. There was a huge work to be done – 10 containers of garbage were removed from the bottom and shores of the lake. The major stage of eco-rehabilitation was to remove bottom sediments and excess plants, which allowed to open exit of ground water and saturate the water with oxygen. </p> <p> The area of Maryino Lake is 8.2 thousand sq.m. Despite its small size, the water reservoir is very important for the ecosystem of the district – it is home to frogs, silver carp, Chinese sleeper, several dozen species of insects, 80 species of aquatic and coastal plants, and many microorganisms. Muskrats also live there, as well as birds like wild duck, tufted duck, black tern and long eared owl and water hen, listed in the Red book. </p> <p> Ilya Wolfson, Director of SMU-88 construction company, added that the opinion of residents of neighboring houses was taken into account when developing the improvement plan. </p> <p> Kazan Mayor Ilsur Metshin noted that thanks to such caring people, the city is being transformed. “I am glad that Kazan has a tradition of patronage and charity. When there are such caring citizens, scientists, environmentalists, entrepreneurs, the city definitely has a future,” - I.Metshin said. </p>
