Specialists of the Crimean Federal University suggested to use for water supply of Simferopol, located in the city springs. Examining the small traditional water experts have offered to send their resources to the water network. This was reported by the press service of the Kazan Federal University.
In Simferopol we know of 14 major sources with a total consumption of about 33 thousand cubic meters per day (per year more than 12 million cubic meters). Regime the hydrological monitoring was conducted by the Institute of Speleology and Karstology in the last five years, said senior lecturer in physical geography and geomorphology, geographical faculty of Kazan Federal University Gennady Samokhin. – On the sources you will need to make a special waterworks – kaptai for the collection of water and its delivery to the consumer. A significant portion of this water can be directed in the Simferopol reservoir.
to Include small sources in the water system possible if you use modern technology for water abstraction and cleaning, and also to build a water storage device. This water is enough to supply small settlements, farms, parks and gardens. The Council of Ministers of Crimea has instructed to create the feasibility study (FS) for this project.
all in All, on the territory of Crimea there are about 2600 sources, and only some of them that fill up the reservoir. Average sources uses parts of the local population – the people themselves captious sources and lead water to the housing. Small sources are not used. For example, a small source with a flow rate of 200 grams per second can provide water for about 70 people.
Employees of the University are now studying the possibility of using springs Bakhchisaray, Belogorsk and Simferopol district. Conducted field visits itinerary to study costs and water quality status of existing captaia, the possibility of their use. A working group, which will assess the potential of small sources, is headed by the Minister of environment of Kazakhstan Gennady Nara.
