Prevention of ecological degradation with POP of Sokh transboundary river basin by reducing the quantity of inserted pollutants by introduction of ecologically clean household technologies in the nearest Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan communities
The main concern of this project is the Persistent Organic Pollutants dropped to the river Soh. This river flows through two countries that are Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. There has been a great antropogenic influence to the river because there are many Kyrgyz and Uzbek households along the river. During Soviet period various types of pesticides were utilized on the lands, which now belong to people and they organize their living by processing this land. Therefore, the new and old pesticides are dropped to the river because population of this area is not well-informed about the hazardous and greatly negative effect. The environment of the river was greatly effected by the pollution and have experienced various damages such as the dissapearance of types of flora and fauna. The polluted river has negative effect had influence also on the health of people. The possible solution that was identified by the project staff was to conduct a research of the river and the general environment of the river to vividly demontrate the negative impact that the POP has on the environment and people. Also the awareness of the population of this area about the POP has to be increased since if people do not get involved the problem is less likely to be solved. Staff of the NGO is planning to clean the territory of the Soh river and introduce the plants that do not require pesticides. All of these actions are going to be supported by information campaign.
