Crimea announced the depletion of underground water reserves

33

Restrictions on the supply of water to the Crimeans will remain until the weather conditions improve, or until the necessary desalination facilities are built. This was stated by the head of Crimea Sergey Aksenov on the air of the program "Tell the truth."

It is quite possible that by the spring of 2021, thanks to the drilled wells, it will be possible to establish a constant water supply to Simferopol and close most of the city's water needs. At the moment, with the worst development of the situation, residents of the Bakhchisarai and Simferopol districts will have to be content with a two-hour water supply in the morning and evening instead of three hours.



According to the plans of the authorities, by April 18 next year, 18 additional wells will be drilled, which will be able to supply 58 thousand cubic meters of water daily - this will give Simferopol a total of up to 110 thousand cubic meters of water every day with the current consumption of 160.

At the same time, we will not reach the full volume anyway, almost all underground reserves in this situation are exhausted

- noted the head of Crimea.

Due to the blockade from the Ukrainian side and the drying up of the Crimean reservoirs this dry summer, the authorities of the peninsula were forced to limit the supply of water to the population, introducing appropriate schedules. The transportation of water from other available sources was also urgently organized.

      It is possible to fully provide the Crimea with water only with the help of the North Crimean canal. And no wells and desalination plants will help here, this is a banal theft and imitation of work and nothing more.

        I think that modern desalination plants of adequate capacity could fully solve the problem of water supply to the peninsula, but there is no finance or technology to solve this problem in Crimea and is not expected. And for the resumption of water supply through the North Crimean Canal, there is an indispensable condition - Crimea must again become Ukrainian ...

          No, and again no, desalinated water must be mixed with natural water. Desalination in large volumes requires a solution to many problems. We need excess power generation, which means we need gas, we need turbines, we need desalination technologies, and we need to drain the poisonous brine somewhere.

            Well, Israel somehow solved these problems, but the conditions there will be worse, and the population is much larger, and the industry is more powerful, but today it practically does not depend on external sources of water.

            The person correctly noticed to you that in Israel and other countries these problems have been successfully resolved, so there is little to do - to find funds and find contractors who are ready to do the required amount of work. I think they could find funds in the Russian Federation, but finding serious foreign firms ready to work in the unrecognized territory of Russia in Crimea is a much more difficult task.

      It is time for the Russian Federation to cut off the water flowing to the Ukrainian rivers and send home all migrant workers and patriots of foreign states who have lost their way in the Russian Federation. This will quickly cool the hot Bandera bad heads. And the complete embargo on trade with Ukraine is high time for the RF to be introduced !!!

        What kind of water? Dnepr, or what? So the drain of the Dnieper from Russia is less than a quarter of the total flow, and there is also Belarus between Russia and Ukraine. They will not ask for it? And migrant workers from Ukraine today are not going to Russia, but mainly to Europe. all to the same Poland. Yes, and we have enough in Israel.

          Let everyone go to Europe, we do not need patriots of foreign states in the Russian Federation. If Lukashenko does not consider it shameful to trade with Ukraine, these are his problems, the Russian Federation does not need it, and there is no surplus of water in Belarus to supply Ukraine, and even freebies. Even 25% is a lot, they will not be and they will scratch in Kiev ... and taking into account the rivers with the Republic of Belarus, this is much more. Luke is all in debt to the Russian Federation, so even if it is calculated, at least with water, at least with something else, just not empty chatter, it is the Russian Federation unnecessarily.

      It is easy to transfer water to Crimea from the Don through the Volga-Don canal. And the Volga can be replenished from the northern rivers by digging a small canal.
      And in 1994 in Crimea there was a catastrophic lack of water, although the North Crimean Canal was working.

        The Volga can and should be replenished through the Don, only not with the waters of the northern rivers, but with the waters of rivers that, without any benefit for the Russian Federation, feed the Ukrainian Dnieper

      Information for consideration:
      The population of Simferopol for 2019 is 341 people, with a daily consumption of 527 thousand cubic meters per day, 110 cubic meters per day per person or 000 cubic meters per month are obtained. If the demand is 0,32 thousand cubic meters, then this is 9,6 cubic meters per person per month.
      Whether it is a lot or a little, everyone can evaluate it independently. From personal experience, without trembling over every drop of water, without any tricks like closing the tap while brushing your teeth, and so on, 3-4 cubic meters per person is quite enough.

      In Crimea, the standard for the consumption of utilities in residential premises is 7,35 -7,56 (cubic meters per month per person).
      https://mzhkh.rk.gov.ru/file/pub/pub_281070.pdf

      We are looking at a city similar in climatic conditions, for example Krasnodar. The consumption rate of utilities in residential premises is 6,69 (cubic meter per month for 1 person) https://krasnodarvodokanal.ru/potrebitelyam/fizicheskie-lica/normativy/

      Of course, I understand that water is used not only at home, but also by various institutions. All the same, I believe, first of all, it is necessary to restore order in the water supply system. The problem is typical not only for Crimea, for example, there was information on Novorossiysk, which by the way is comparable in population to Simferopol, where pipes are worn out by 80%.

        Well, there you just need to put things in order with pipes and other infrastructure, but in Crimea the problem is that today there is simply nowhere to take it. Intensive pumping of underground horizons will very quickly lead to their depletion and replacement of fresh water with salty water, which is already happening. Here, of course, the drought played a strong role, and in general water problems are typical for all southern coastal cities. But this could have been foreseen.

          But this could have been foreseen.

          Anticipate? Maybe yes. Drought is essentially a natural disaster. And this is not the first time, and not only here. Likewise, floods or typhoons can be predicted that occur fairly regularly.
          But they do not write about the Carpathians washed away by the flood, or about the conditionally "New Orleans". You can of course argue that this is abroad and the problem of the native Crimea is more important to the authors.
          Then why the Kuban remains without any attention, although the problem with the Crimea is similar. Are the inhabitants of the Krasnodar Territory less important to the authors? Look, for example, on the website for articles about dry bodies of water, water interruptions and problems with water supply in the Krasnodar Territory. Will not find request It is the Crimea and the channel that are distinguished, by the way, the channel is not a panacea in solving this problem. In this sense, the site is not very different from others.
          And this is done for a specific purpose. A herd of propagandists all over the Internet regularly escalates the situation, dripping onto the brains of readers, instilling that Russia cannot solve the problem, that we urgently need a channel and without it anywhere. Artificially supported discussion on topics:
          Putin cannot solve this problem.
          Crimea seized and life can not be adjusted.
          What bastards are these forelock that do not give the drying up Crimea water.
          Do we need to block the Dnieper or capture the canal.

            So that's what we are talking about. If we would have bothered to build desalination facilities on time, there would have been nothing to talk about and the drought would not have been terrible. Still 6 years have passed. Israel did it all faster, although the conditions there are worse and there is more industry. Now it does not depend in any way on external sources, moreover, it supplies water to the "Palestinian autonomy" and supplies water to Jordan. And as for the Krasnodar Territory, I personally know that there is a shortage of water, but many big "experts" call for water from there. I'm talking about nonsense like diverting the Dnieper. Today there is no alternative to desalination, and everything described in the article is patching up Trishka's caftan.

              The conditions are somewhat different, that for you the norm in Crimea is rather an anomaly. The problem is not as acute as in the Middle East. Your question was straightforward, there is simply no alternative, so they took up the problem.
              Of course, we can say that it was necessary to build desalination plants, they say that this is what kind of government is sluggish and does not think about people. But who, in climatic conditions similar to those of Crimea, lives on desalination plants? Are there examples for the Black Sea or Mediterranean Sea basin? And exporting water from Crimea is fantastic laughing
              The problem can, if not be completely solved without desalination, then significantly reduce the negative consequences.

              And about the Krasnodar Territory - I personally know that there is a shortage of water, but many big "experts" urge to give water from there. Not to mention stupidity like diverting the Dnieper. Today there is no alternative to desalination, and everything described in the article is to patch Trishkin caftan.

              It will not work to pump water from the Krasnodar Territory; They also need to solve a similar problem and do it in a comprehensive manner. It is possible to partially restore the forests because everything has been cut down for agriculture. It is not an option to thoughtlessly install watermakers. People do not appreciate water and are not used to using it prudently.

      The wedge must be driven out with a wedge! In response to the blocking of the North Crimean Canal, block the Desna and Dnieper. Direct the waters of the Desna to the Oka, and direct the waters of the Dnieper to the arid regions of Belarus. Then the Dnieper will become shallow to such an extent that it will be possible to cross it on foot. But, I think that the Banderlog will immediately unblock the North Crimean Canal as soon as they learn about the work that has begun to block the Desna and Dnieper rivers. And the problem with water in Crimea will be instantly resolved.
