Minister FaridAbdulganiyev said that in Tatarstan the surface waters pollution is monitored on a regular base. Water bodies in the area of direct influence of wastewaterare especially monitored. For effective monitoring of surface water pollution are actively used mobile laboratories of the Tatarstan Ministry of Ecology, which allow for fast analysis. With the patrol boat of eco-analytical control “Flamingo” it is possible to monitor the surface water quality byhydrochemical and hydrophysical indicators; to probe the bottom and the water column, using echolocation to detect unauthorized discharge; to determine the exact location of wastewater discharge; to sample water and sediments for further analysis in stationary laboratories.
