Волгу в районе Борской поймы заваливают грунтом, вывезенным с Городецкого гидроузла

The Volga River near the Borskaya floodplain is becoming a dumping ground for soil removed from the Gorodets hydroelectric complex. Reconstruction of the hydroelectric complex began in 2021 and was originally scheduled for completion in 2024, but the deadlines were repeatedly missed, and costs continued to mount. Instead of the planned 22 billion rubles, the project is now estimated to cost around 40 billion rubles. In the summer of 2025, a breach occurred, and the locks under construction collapsed; the consequences of this accident were only fully repaired in April 2026. Dredging is underway near the hydroelectric complex, and the accumulated soil is transported to Nizhny Novgorod and dumped near Strelka, near the so-called Borskaya floodplain.
