Waterworks facility on the Yauza

The Yauza waterworks facility was built in 1940. The construction took only three years and has been operating continuously three kilometers between Zolotorozhskaya Embankment and Akademik Tupolev Embankment.The construction was carried out according to the plan for creating the Moscow water ring. The design provided for the construction of the Northern Canal (the Khimki reservoir to the Yauza) and several waterworks, including one on the Yauza.

In the early 1930s, it was decided to provide the capital with two water rings from the Volga water in order to increase the freshwater reserves for the citizens, clean the bed of the Moscow River and continue to develop navigation and river transport. The plan was not implemented because of the Great Patriotic War.

Task: Waterworks facility on the Yauza

Today, a 20-meter spillway dam allows regulating the water level in the Yauza. The depth of the river is at least two meters, and it remains navigable. The waterworks facility passes water supply, floods, and storm water, so the territory above it is safe from flooding.
