		Recently concluded research suggests that the Tuul river, which runs through the south of Ulaanbaatar, has high levels of pollution, much of which comes from the central sewage treatment plant.
		The report says that highly polluted water is allowed to enter the river from the sewage plant, making up 25 to 30 percent of the volume of the river at that point.
		The report judges there to be little pollution entering the river directly from the city and it is not until it passes Songino Mountain and soums in Tov aimag further downstream that the river becomes badly polluted.

		Although approximately 80 percent of all those rivers flow into the country, 90 percent of the big rivers with great water potential flows out of the country.
		The inhabitants of ger settlements (the traditional tent like structure that is used by nomads as it can be assembled and disassembled easily) are the most affected, as ger settlements generally occur at the outskirts of the cities where greater land is available to pitch “gers”.
		For example, in July 1966, the water level of the Tuul River increased over 3 meter against its usual level and flooded the industrial region of Ulaanbaatar which claimed the lives of 130 people and caused economic damage amounting to 7.5 million USD (Mongolia: State of the Environment, UNEP, 2002).
