Until the end of may in Simferopol will start pumping water from Vilinskaya and Ivanovo intake, which will facilitate a solution to the problem of water scarcity in the capital of Crimea. This at a press conference in the multimedia press center MIA “Russia today” in the Crimean capital of Simferopol said the head of the administration Elena Protsenko.
She noted that the Crimean authorities are busy every day to solve the problem of degeneration of the Simferopol reservoir.
– Now is the reconstruction of the water line from Vilinskaya intake, and the end of may already to start the flow of water from him, she said. – In parallel, the construction (it is the object of FTP) conduit for supplying water from Department of water intake. It will also be connected to the end of may. I think that the timing will not be violated.
At the same time Protsenko called Tavriya to take lean to the water consumption.
According to information received, “RG” from the Federal Agency of water resources, inclusion in the existing scheme of water supply of Simferopol additional capacity Vilinskaya Ivanovo and underground water intakes, repair Intermountain conduit, as well as the construction of bridges from clean water tanks to Ayan conduit will give the capital of the Peninsula further 57 thousand cubic meters of water per day. In particular, Vilinskaya intake every day is planned to transfer 20 to 30 thousand cubic meters of water, with the Ivanovo – 20-27 thousand. To implement these activities with a total value of 637 million rubles was planned for the expense of the national reserve Fund, with subsequent reimbursement from the reserve Fund of the government of the Russian Federation.
Having a design capacity of about 36 million cubic meters of Simferopol reservoir is filled only at 28.9 percent and continues to shrink. Approximately the same situation and with the Partisan reservoir, which is filled with 31.5 per cent (10.8 million cubic meters of water). In March on the Peninsula was only a few millimeters of rain – 20 percent from the norm. Snow on the high plateau of the Crimea during the winter accumulated too little to fill the reservoirs.
Earlier, the head of the Crimea Sergey Aksenov said that water reserves in the reservoirs that feed the Crimean capital, enough to mid-summer. However, he did not exclude, if necessary, the introduction of a water supply on schedule.
