At a meeting devoted to the provision of water resources and improving efficiency in water use, developing domestic waterways and the construction of river and canal vessels
Participants:
"We still lack effective economic means to encourage sustainable water use and implementation of up-to-date water cleansing technologies. In this regard, I request you to duly consider updating water consumption rates for different industry sectors and the rates-related issues – of course, I mean tariffs for water as well".
