The water situation in Crimea is improving due to measures that were needed long before the Ukrainian blockade
The precipitation that fell on the peninsula in the first month of 2021 made it possible to significantly fill the reservoirs of the southern coast of Crimea and transfer the settlements of the region to an almost round-the-clock water supply.
The head of the Yalta administration, Yanina Pavlenko, stated this at a meeting on issues of water supply to the republic, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the official, at the same time, today the city is fed exclusively from alternative sources, and melt and flood waters fill the reservoirs. We are talking about taking water from rivers and waterfalls - previously it was simply dumped into the sea and was not used as an additional resource.
“Thanks to the use of alternative sources, it was possible to provide most of Yalta with water around the clock. Today, the volume of water in the Zagorsk reservoir is 2 million 539 cubic meters, the useful volume is 730 thousand cubic meters.
The Schastlivensky reservoir contains 3 million 525 thousand cubic meters. Useful volume – 2 million 995 thousand cubic meters. In just one day the influx amounted to more than 160 thousand.
To date, the city has not taken a single gram of water. Water supply was provided almost around the clock from additional sources. The main source is “Hasta-Bash”, which gives us more than 30 thousand cubic meters per day, Uch-Kosh seven thousand, Massandra Falls - about ten thousand. Thanks to the Uchan-Su waterfall, we have almost completely filled Lake Mogabi, and today it supplies about two thousand cubic meters per day from Lake Mogabi towards Livadia,” said Pavlenko.
