On the banks of this pond on weekends and holidays, the townspeople have a rest: they walk with children, ride on the water surface on boats and pedal boats, fish and sunbathe. As for swimming in the pond, it is still prohibited due to the abundance of industrial and household waste at the bottom, which can harm human health. Cleaning of ponds in Obninsk is carried out for the second year in a row on the first Sunday of June - the Day of Cleaning of Water Bodies. “We made this event traditionally annual,” explains the organizer Dmitry Samburov , who is fond of diving and personally plunged into the bottom of the pond with scuba diving. the shore of the pond to clean its bottom and banks from debris. This year, Andrey Drozdov , the organizer and ideologist of the event, could not dive to the bottom for cleaning himself. Nevertheless, an experienced diver insured his comrades from the shore. The spirit of mutual assistance and unity is strong in diving circles - otherwise there is no way under water! В Обнинске, кроме Белкинских прудов, людям купаться, по сути, негде - река Протва загажена промышленными стоками. И цель нашего начинания не только в том, чтобы привлечь внимание горожан к экологическим проблема, но в конечном итоге сделать пруды пригодными и доступными для купания. Сейчас в прудах купаться опасно - во время чисток мы находим на дне не только стекло, проволоку, металлические арматуру, но даже предметы мебели типа тумбочек и столов. Впрочем, справедливости ради, нужно сказать, что в пруду попадаются и ценные артефакты. В прошлом году мы нашли на дне магазин от немецкого автомата времен войны и казацкую шашку и передали их в городской музей. Тем не менее, я и мои единомышленники очень надеемся, что наше желание привести пруды в нормальное состояние поддержат не только городские службы, но и общественность». For the public, the matter did not become: while the divers were cleaning the bottom of the pond, land volunteers cleaned up the banks, freeing them from debris. In addition, the action to clean up the reservoirs was supported by several local business structures and the Belkino Estate charity foundation . The former prosecutor of Obninsk, and now the representative of the foundation, Mikhail Narusov, said in this regard: “We intend to make a real pearl out of the Belkino estate - the city deserves it”.
