Contaminated Lake Treated with Advantageous Microorganisms

In Astana, a significant ecological action took place recently, marking a crucial step in the ongoing restoration of Lake Maly Taldykol. This action was part of the nationwide campaign "Taza Qazaqstan" and was organised by the Ecological NGO "Ulytau".

The purpose of the action was clear: to biologically purify and restore the water body of Lake Maly Taldykol. The event took place in sections No5 and No7 of the lake, and it was a collaborative effort involving volunteers from nearby residential complexes, eco-activists, representatives of the Nur district's city administration, and specialists from the city's Environmental Protection and Nature Management Department.

The action began with sanitation work, which included removing excess algae and coastal waste from the lake. The highlight of the event, however, was the introduction of EM-balls into Lake Maly Taldykol. These clay balls are filled with effective microorganisms, nutrients, and beneficial bacteria. Once dissolved at the bottom of the lake, they ensure long-term purification and restoration of the water body's natural biological balance.

This ecological action is not a one-off event. It is part of a broader, ongoing effort to restore Lake Maly Taldykol, which began in early 2025. The goal of this restoration effort is multi-faceted: to reduce pollution levels, restore the lake's natural balance, and foster a culture of responsible environmental stewardship among Astana's residents.

The condition of Lake Maly Taldykol has shown signs of improvement as a result of this action. The event was reported by the organisation's website, and it serves as a testament to the power of community collaboration in environmental conservation.

As the lake continues to recover, so too does the hope for a cleaner, greener Astana. The ecological action at Lake Maly Taldykol is a shining example of what can be achieved when a community comes together for the greater good.
