The first water for Crimea was extracted from the bottom of the Sea of Azov
Today, without a doubt, an event of special importance for the inhabitants of Crimea took place. It is reported that as a result of work on the aquifer under the bottom of the Sea of Azov, the first batch of fresh water was extracted. This was announced by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Marat Khusnullin.
According to the Minister of the Federal Government, water samples will be sent to one of the metropolitan laboratories, where the water will be tested for the presence of various kinds of impurities. The main task is to determine to what extent the water extracted under the Sea of Azov is suitable for drinking and agricultural activities.
Recall that drilling in the Sea of Azov is being carried out due to the fact that Kiev once blocked the North Crimean Canal. Because of this, on the Crimean peninsula, which already faced a shortage of fresh water, additional problems arose with water supply. It is important to note that the Ukrainian authorities have cut off the supply of water from the Dnieper in fact for their own citizens. Against this background, President Zelensky hypocritically declares that Ukraine "remembers the Crimeans."
Marat Khusnullin confirmed the reports that had previously appeared in the press. The information is that the water was found at a depth of about a hundred meters. Now its quality is being checked. If it meets the standards, then, as noted by the deputy chairman of the government, Crimea will be provided with drinking water for at least the next couple of years.
It is also noted that the lack of water on the peninsula can be leveled not only by developing new sources, but also by reducing losses in the networks. Many networks are badly worn out, since when the Crimea was part of Ukraine for many years there was no repair or renewal of them.
