For residents of Crimea, a new water intake has become a gift to the anniversary of reunification with Russia. This object is strategically important, as it will help to cope with one of the main tasks on the peninsula. This is the first serious step to solving the problem of the water crisis in the Crimea.
The two largest cities of the republic are Simferopol and Sevastopol - got completely new sources. Under the Simferopol today earned Bester Shemish underground water intake. The technology is based on this project that they are used in oil and gas production.
I dried 11 wells. Water is at great depth, about 500 meters. To lift it on the surface, use special depth pumps. Water is cleaned, then it is served on Simferopol. For this, a 20-kilometer water supply was laid from modern plastic pipes, which will not need to be repaired several decades.
Today they earned the first two wells, and after 2 months, the water intake will be released at full capacity. Then Simferopol every day will receive an additional 22 thousand cubic meters of water. This quantity is enough to ensure the needs of the 100th thousand population.
The second object is a water intake near Sevastopol. It is built on the Belbek River for 3 months. The draft complex hydraulic structure was developed by Russian engineers. In our country, the river water intake of such power was created for the first time. Previously, hundreds of thousands of fresh water cubes have flowed into the sea, now it will be gathered in huge drives, clean and will be submitted by a half-million sevastopol. Water intake will work at maximum power during the flood period, providing spring approximately half the city's need in water.
At the same time, the load on the Chernorechensk reservoir will decrease, this is the main source of Sevastopol. The level in it reached critical marks. While Belbek water intake works at the maximum, from Chernorechensky will not take water. So a new object is balanced by the work of the water supply system of Sevastopol, which for droughst lives for several months live in high availability.
The cavity to solve the problem of water shortage in the Crimea is calculated in the next 3 years. On this purpose, the Russian government will send almost 50 billion rubles. There is a comprehensive plan prepared on behalf of Vladimir Putin. It includes the search for new sources, construction of highways and desalination plants, as well as the modernization of water supply systems. By 2024, an additional water supply to the cities of Crimea should exceed 300 thousand cubic meters per day.
