Tsarev found water reserves in Crimea
Instead of costing expensive desalination plants, Crimean authorities could start by collecting water from the many mountain springs that still flow into the sea.
A former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, who moved to Crimea after the coup in Ukraine, Oleg Tsarev, writes about this in his blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Tsarev, mountain water will be cleaner than desalinated sea water.
“There are a huge number of streams and rivers above Yalta. Spring. Kilotons of fresh water flow from the mountains into the sea. In Yalta, water is provided by the hour.
An advance payment was allocated and partially spent for the construction of a desalination station. Construction will not be fast and expensive. At the exit, Yalta residents will receive not very useful, expensive, desalinated water, which will still need to be raised above Yalta.
To where streams and rivers that are completely uninteresting to anyone now flow, overflowing with fresh, clean and transparent spring water.
What could be simpler and cheaper to collect water that is now wasted in the sea and send it to reservoirs? But, probably, no one is interested in cheap options,” writes Tsarev.
