Thursday, August 6, with no water left in most of the districts of Simferopol. Dry taps in suburban residential areas and surrounding villages. We are talking about hundreds of thousands of people. According to the official report, the water supply of the capital of Kazakhstan is limited “in connection with the production of rescue and recovery operations at water treatment plants”. A good thing, but why only in the town centre disabled several dozen of the most densely populated neighborhoods?
Officials announced the schedule and addresses the transport of water with time and approach each tanker. So, one of the tanks will arrive on the street of Sevastopol, 243, bus station “Western”. It was here that local people and holidaymakers are leaving for the coast from Sevastopol and Bakhchisarai from the famous beaches of Nikolayevka. However, the kind of rest, if you need to miss a plastic flask and run in line for water.
Many Simferopol are convinced that the current events – in fact, the last dress rehearsal for the city-wide state of emergency. As is known, these plans came to the city administration a month and a half ago. Then it seemed that the Simferopol reservoir is completely dry. But suddenly came the salutary, generous unprecedented June rain. One day in the Crimean capital had the half of the monthly norm of precipitation. “This is the first time in the past, especially the dry half of the year. Simferopol for a few hours – a record 30 inches of rain!.. Streams of water flowed through the streets, and the level of the Salgir river finally rose” – frankly rejoiced the head of the Crimean meteorologist Tatiana Lyubetskaya.
Very heavy rains were also held throughout the Republic. Sergey Aksenov hastened to inform that now the water will last until the autumn and to declare emergency is not necessary. They say, we save the weather, the threat of “dehydration” for most of the areas temporarily removed.
Until now it was believed that serious problems with water supply can feel the North of the Crimea. There the arid steppes, the salt marshes and the nightmarish emptiness of the North-Crimean channel, the seventh year blocked Bandera. Unfortunately, by August the lack of water has really come to the heart of the Sunny Peninsula. This is really disturbing news in recent days. Due to the complete lack of water, the emergency mode is entered in territory of Mirnovsky rural settlements of the Simferopol area. The distance between Simferopol and suburban village of Peace – a little more than 30 km, That is, the trouble is already knocking at the doors of the capital of the Republic.
Dry wells, which provide residents the Peace. According to the head of the local municipal enterprise Eugene Hudyma, without water there are about two thousand people. “For the first time is that the water in our wells is over, just left – throws up his hands the head of administration of settlement Natalia Lapshina.
For extra Peace plan to build nmarketing pipeline from the main pipeline of the city of Simferopol. However, the very Simferopol reservoir has again reached a critical point drying. Over the past month, the engineering troops of the Russian defense Ministry paved here Taganskogo pipeline from the reservoir to the East of the Peninsula. Although there are also less than a third of the stock.
Meanwhile, complaining about the scarcity of water inhabitants of the village of Chernorechye near Sevastopol. In wells you can see the bottom, the pumps pump the dirty slush. August 4 to the place of events there arrived the Vice-Governor of the city of Russian glory Vladimir Bazarov. It’s not a simple village. Next to the black river reservoir is the main and practically the only source of water in the Sevastopol municipal network. If dry wells the Chernorechye – so threatens the whole Sevastopol.
In the difficult days of mid-June Sergey Aksenov reported that Roshydromet will send to the Crimea the plane is able to increase the amount of precipitation from rain clouds.
“Any clouds that will enter the territory of Simferopol, will be treated,” — said the head of the Crimea.
On 8 July there was information that the authorities of the Peninsula have signed a contract for 50 million rubles, in the framework of which the station flying Moscow will start to fire clouds. According to Aksenov, the region’s expected increase in precipitation by 30%. So far, the results are close to zero.
Recently the state Committee on water economy and melioration of Kazakhstan announced a tender for performance of aviation works on the artificial attraction of precipitation “to increase the flow of water in water objects of the Republic.” Corresponding to the lot value of 25.5 million rubles was published on the procurement website. Of the heavens will try to squeeze the last drop?
According to the Republican hydrometeorological center, for the entire past month in Crimea precipitation were mostly transient and did not improve the overall water situation. On the contrary, the volume of the reservoirs the natural flow continued to decline. To be sure, just look at the pathetic puddle instead of Belogorsky reservoirs or ancient lake Egiz-Both in Bakhchisarai. The lake fills the Kacha river, but the river was dry. On the verge of drying out local rivers Alma and Black. Forecasters estimate – by early August, total supply of water in the reservoirs of the Peninsula made up 74,86 million cubic meters. For comparison, in the same period last year, the stock was 163,69 million cubic meters.
Last week, the popular front has asked its regional experts to assist in drafting a relevant picture of the regional problems in the country. From Moscow flew the mail with the only question – select the most relevant problem of the residents of your region, which is necessary to know the President�� Of the Russian Federation, the leader of the popular front.
Not saying a word, the Crimean “veterans” were sent to the headquarters of the popular front is almost the same question: “Crimean Residents are waiting for a clear programme of water supply. Not the mythical schemes of some academics, and accurate statement of the situation and action items — first-person.
With water really bad. People see the well rapidly solonet, reservoir is 3/4 empty. We experienced an energy blackout, because ready-to-saving mode, to the hard limits. Now, however, he needs to tell Putin”.
