Moskva = Moscow

The Moskva River = Hundred rivers

The Moskva River in each district of the city

We consider the River as a blood system, but not a corridor within granite riversides. This system includes both the Moskva River, its tributaries and the smallest streamlets.

Once in the territory of Moscow there were up to 140 small rivers. Now there remain about 70 rivers. Many of them are ducted along the whole length.

Our object is a pure river in which it is safe to bathe in any place, as earlier when opposite the Kremlin the people held swimming meet when on the spit of the island there was a diving board.

For this purpose it is necessary to clear the tributaries which are at present carrying different contaminations from surface waters and wastes of production to the Moskva River. A river flowing on the surface is able to clean itself. We suggest opening the forgotten rivers, getting them from under the ground, transforming them into district parks with overflow ponds and the planted riversides that promote water cleaning. Our program of therapy and urban ecology of the Moskva River basin at large, we put into new level the permeability of the urban environment, its individuality, life convenience.

Thus, all areas of Moscow gain their own river, and Moscow gains the hundred rivers instead of one.
