The 77th meeting of the joint board of the Union State Committee on Hydrometeorology and Environmental Contamination Monitoring took place in Grodno

The activities of hydrometeorological services in any country always arouse genuine interest from the general public and government authorities. This necessitates the constant development and improvement of cooperation in the field of hydrometeorology.

On May 22, in Grodno the 77th meeting of the joint board of the Union State Committee on Hydrometeorology and Environmental Contamination Monitoring took place.

The meeting brought together representatives of the Standing Committee of the Union State, the Executive Committee of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection of the Republic of Belarus, as well as government agencies and scientific circles of Belarus and Russia.

The joint activity of Roshydromet and Belhydromet within the framework of the Union State is a reason for pride and a good example of the integration interaction of the state hydrometeorological services of the two countries.

One of the "mechanisms" of cooperation between Belhydromet and Roshydromet aimed at development is the implementation of programs of the Union State in the relevant field, the results of which are of high practical importance for Belarus, primarily for weather-dependent sectors of the economy such as transport, agriculture, energy, housing and communal services, as well as for organizations of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Ministry of Defense.

During the meeting, experts from the two countries considered topical issues of interaction between the state hydrometeorological services of Belarus and Russia, including issues of import substitution of measuring equipment used for radiation monitoring on the territory of the Union State; prospects for the development of the accounting system of observation units of the Union State; space monitoring to solve problems of hydrometeorology and environmental monitoring; prospects for the creation of orbital and ground-based observation facilities of the Union State for the heliogeophysical situation and a number of other issues.
