发帖数: 3300 | 1 Crimean officials have proposed solving water shortages in Sevastopol by
supplying the city with drinking water from a lake that lies near a
municipal landfill and a reservoir that has been closed since the Soviet era
because of contamination concerns, a news report said.
The plan to serve the city of 340,000 inhabitants on the Black Sea coast
would "reanimate" the Orlovsky reservoir, whose water was deemed unsuitable
for drinking in the 1980s, and tap into a lake in the nearby Inkerman region
, local news site NovoCrimea.ru reported Tuesday, citing the director of
Sevgorodvodokanal water utility, Nikolai Pereguda.
The lake is located just downstream of a local landfill, and the structure
of the region's soil provides little deterrent to polluted runoff flowing
into the lake, the report quoted an unidentified water expert as saying.
Crimea has been suffering water shortages since Russia annexed it this
spring.
The peninsula has no land connection to Russia, and Ukraine refused to
continue pumping water into the annexed territory at full volume, citing
Crimea's unpaid water bills and reducing the stream to a mere trickle.
Water shortages have already damaged Crimea's harvest this year, officials
have said. | c******l

发帖数: 3300 | 3 Ukraine: Water shortages drive Crimean growers to bankruptcy
The lack of water in Crimea has led to shortages of various products, higher
prices and heavy losses for growers in the Dzhankoysky area.
According to them, the problems in the agricultural sector started almost
immediately after the annexation of Crimea by Russia. "Water from the North-
Crimean channel no longer arrived, which resulted in 70% of our local
growers being forced to close their businesses," said a resident of the
district.
In addition to the water shortages, Crimean growers also started facing
difficulties to market their products. "Before the situation changed, 90% of
our products were sold in mainland Ukraine, and now the export process is
getting harder and harder. Shipping to Russia is almost impossible, so we
are now selling our products only in Crimea," complains a local producer.
Furthermore, seeds, and fertilisers have become two to three times more
expensive, but the main problem remains the lack of water, as 85% of Crimea'
s fresh water was supplied through the North Crimean Canal, and most of this
water was used for agricultural purposes.
After the annexation of Crimea, the water supply through this channel to the
peninsula was completely stopped. |
