On Friday, September 18, the head of the “Water of Crimea” enterprise, Vladimir Bazhenov, during a meeting of the operational headquarters, said that the reservoir horizons of the occupied Crimea continue to shrink.
“Unfortunately, the reservoir horizons continue to shrink and shrink. We have 1.359 million cubic meters of water in the Ayan reservoir, 6.130 million cubic meters of water in the Simferopol reservoir, 5.952 million cubic meters in the Partyzansk reservoir. This does not allow us to raise the water as much as we would like. We have raised only 75 thousand cubic meters of water from all reservoirs. But our artesian water is still flowing, we have pumped 49 thousand, so the total water supply to the city has not been reduced”,- he said.
We remind that earlier the invaders decided to gradually reduce the water supply to Crimea. The first stage: on the night of August 23-24, daily water withdrawal dropped to 140 thousand cubic meters. The hot water supply was cut off. Second stage: from August 31 to September 7, water withdrawal decreased to 120 thousand cubic meters per day. Scheduled water supply was introduced. The third stage came on September 7. Water supply has decreased to 100 thousand cubic meters per day and is carried out by the hours – in the morning and in the evening.
