Additionally, work is underway to strengthen digital environmental monitoring. Currently, 19 priority sources are equipped with automatic monitoring stations, 11 of which have been integrated into a unified information system, while work on the rest continues.

 

In sanitary protection zones, a total of 13 eco-posts have been installed, and work is being carried out to gradually integrate them.

 

Currently, 26 million cubic meters of water are treated annually through 7 water treatment facilities, of which 18 million cubic meters are directed back into production processes.

 

At the same time, irrigation systems have been extended to 45 kilometers, serving the preservation and development of green areas.

 

Furthermore, reclamation work was carried out on 2.2 hectares of land, restoring damaged areas.
