Another region of Crimea will switch to restrictive water supply measures. We are talking about Alushta, the town of Partenit and the town of Maly Mayak in the south of the peninsula. This was announced by the head of the Alushta administration, Galina Ogneva, on her Facebook.
The water supply will be limited as of September 23. “At night, from 23:00 to 05:00, the pressure in the water supply system will be reduced. There will be water, but it will flow at low pressure. This is a temporary measure, but it will help save money and avoid a total water shortage situation, ”wrote Ogneva.
According to the official, a small volume was left in the Izobilnenskoye reservoir, which will only last until December. Thus, the current restriction helps ensure that, even without rainfall, Crimeans have water in their taps until at least April.
Since August 24, in Simferopol, where about 350 thousand people live and 39 nearby settlements, they began to gradually limit the water supply; now it can only be extracted on schedule. The economic mode can continue until March 2021. The introduction of such measures is associated with drought.
Before the annexation of Crimea to Russia in the spring of 2014, about 85 percent of the freshwater needs of local residents were provided by the Crimean North Canal, which runs from the Dnieper. After the 2014 referendum, Ukraine blocked it.
