摘要：The article gives the characteristics of the system of removal and purification of surface wastewater in Moscow. One of the features of this system is the large-scale use of hydrographic network of the city as elements of the drainage network. Currently improvement of the ecological state of water objects is only possible if to reduce anthropogenic load on them and watersheds, to recover self-cleaning abilities of water bodies and the to protect groundwater from contamination. The article reveals results of research, and contains technological parameters for facilities of surface sewage water purification and recommendations to improve their operation. Article also gives technical solutions to upgrade operated wastewater treatment systems and to ensure the achievement of required standards of treatment of surface runoff when dilution in water. Along with proposals for the reconstruction and construction of wastewater treatment plants with the classical technology of surface water treatment, it is necessary to consider the principle of decentralization with the use of local treatment facilities.
