Another artificial lake is being created in Tashkent — near Victory Park
A new recreation area with an artificial lake is planned to be set up on Keles Yuli Street in the Olmazor district of Tashkent, the district administration reported. The facility will be built on the site of an alley near Victory Park.
The area of the lake will be 0.50 hectares, its depth 2 meters, and its volume 10,000 cubic meters. Pedestrian paths and a separate bicycle lane will be laid around the reservoir. Their total length will reach 2 km.
The district administration noted that all perennial trees will be preserved during the construction and landscaping process. In addition, 200 new trees will be planted.
Some of the small trees are promised to be "carefully transplanted to other suitable areas" under the supervision of specialists.
This project is part of an initiative to create 12 artificial reservoirs in all districts of the capital to reduce dust levels, humidify the air, and create a more comfortable microclimate in the respective areas.
Earlier, it was reported that a 1.7-hectare lake would be created in the Kumarik makhalla of the Sergeli district (near the current airport) and a 0.9-hectare lake in the Uchtepa district.
New reservoirs are also being created on the territory of the Botanical Garden and in a new park on the site of the former Research Institute of Sericulture.
