In Crimea, reservoirs lost 11 million cubic meters of water over the course of a month
Throughout September, water reserves in the reservoirs of the temporarily occupied Crimea decreased by 11 million cubic meters, or nearly 7 percent. Currently, the total volume of water in Crimean reservoirs stands at about 150 million cubic meters.
According to the National Resistance Center, the current volume of water in the reservoirs of the occupied peninsula corresponds to the long-term average.
At the same time, the Center for National Resistance points out a trend of rapidly decreasing water reserves since the beginning of fall.
In September alone, Crimea’s reservoirs lost about 11 million cubic meters of water. As a result, their overall water level has decreased by nearly 7%.
Separately, the National Resistance Center noted that most rivers on the occupied Crimean Peninsula entered the fall season completely dry.
This is happening against the backdrop of declining reservoir levels and water supply problems in the temporarily occupied territory.
The National Resistance Center also noted that water levels in Crimean reservoirs had risen during the summer.
However, the Center for National Resistance attributes this not to an improvement in the water supply situation, but to a reduction in water consumption due to the deterioration of infrastructure on the occupied peninsula.
Thus, although current water levels still correspond to long-term averages, the rapid decline in reserves since the beginning of fall indicates a worsening of the water resources situation in occupied Crimea.
This was reported by the Center for National Resistance.
Earlier, images were shared online showing the condition of roads in occupied Crimea. The published footage illustrates the state of the road surfaces and the conditions that people who decide to travel to Crimea via the land corridor may encounter.
Power outages began in occupied Crimea following a series of explosions. Some settlements were left without power, and hourly restrictions were imposed in the Kurman district.
Recently, reports emerged from the temporarily occupied Crimea of fires at two large solar power plants—“Mykolaivka” in the Simferopol district and “Okhotnikove” in the Saki district. The causes of the fires have not yet been determined.
