Environmental impact Assessment (EIA) of excavation of gravel sediments from the bed of Tashkent reservoir. Uzbekistan

The aim of the project is to restore the useful volume of the reservoir in order to ensure the supply of water to areas with suspended irrigation, to prevent the negative impact of silting of the bowl on the dam’s hydraulic structures. The main stage of the project implementation will be the clearing of the upper shallow water zone (soil development from the 2nd to the 4th sections) using excavating mechanisms, followed by loading the excavated soil onto vehicles with a load capacity of up to 25 tons.

Our specialist provided the following services:

  • assessment of the current state of the environment, vegetation cover along the banks of the Tashkent reservoir;
  • assessment of the impact of dredging gravel deposits from the bottom of the reservoir on the environment;
  • mitigation of the negative impact.
