Andrei Monine, Stagnant Waters in the USSR
The closing of the straits of Kara-Bogaz, the catastrophe of the Aral Sea, the transformation of millions of acres of land into marshes — these are some of the most tangible results of absurb, bureaucratic management of water resources in the Soviet Union. It is a management which has not produced any positive results. These ecological catastrophes however have not convinced the partisans of major hydralic projects in Siberia to give up their destructive plans. Non-treated waste from the large cities and from industry, such as cellulose by-products from Baikal, like the run-off from the use of chemicals in agriculture, poisons water and accelerates the eutrophization of the lakes. It is urgent that a commission be empowered to carry-out on of the most noble combats of our time, the combat fur the ecological security of our planet. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
