Kyiv • UNN
One of the largest water reservoirs in occupied Crimea has become very shallow. The Belohirskoye reservoir, which was previously used to fill the North Crimean Canal, has stopped discharging water.
The situation with the water supply on the Ukrainian peninsula is becoming more complicated. According to Krym.Realii, due to severe shallowing stopped water discharge in the Belogorskoye reservoir, reports UNN.
Details
The water edge in the Belogorsky reservoir has gone far away from the base of the dam; water release due to its severe shallowing has been stopped.
Earlier, water was intensively released into the channel of the Biyuk-Karasu River to fill the North Crimean Canal, writes Crimea.Realii.
The Crimean branch of the international movement for the decoccupation of Crimea said that the situation with Crimea's water supply may worsen.
The region has entered a prolonged dry period. Despite the cessation of releases, the water level in the reservoir continues to drop due to abnormal heat and drought conditions
Recall
The Russian-appointed “head” of the republic, Sergey Aksyonov, has said that the situation in the region is stable and that there are problems with water supply in Crimea
As of June 19, 2024, the available water reserves in the reservoirs of Crimea are more than 245 million cubic meters, including drinking water reservoirs - about 228 million cubic meters
UNN previously reported that in Crimea in the area of Koktebel and Simferopol district there were large-scale fires on an area of 20-30 hectares, to extinguish which were involved more than 150 specialists and 25 units of equipment.
