Accumulation of water in most of the reservoirs of the Crimean Peninsula higher than in 2014, something where the reduction occurs due to the transfer of water to the East of the Peninsula, said Fins news Director Department of state policy and regulation in the field of water resources Ministry of Russia Dmitry Kirillov.
