On Wednesday, August 26, during a press conference in Simferopol, the head of the “Water of Crimea” enterprise Vladimir Bazhenov said that the degree of drought that hit the occupied peninsula exceeded absolutely all expectations.
“The degree of drought that hit our sunny peninsula surpassed absolutely all expectations. Everyone assumed that it would be softer and that there would be enough water in the reservoirs before the autumn-winter precipitation began. During May-June, a colossal amount of precipitation passed through the north of Crimea, and nothing fell in the mountains. A unique situation that somehow confused the cards”,- he said.
