Crimea will not use water resources from the rivers Kuban, as the Republic has enough own sources of water supply, said the Minister of ecology and natural resources of the Republic of Crimea Gennady Nara.
"it may be, but in practice it is unprofitable and unreasonable. The Kuban river does not have sufficient resource to provide the residents of the Crimea with water, and today its use is 20% higher than normal. The river don is Also not so wet, it's only for the needs of local residents. Also hindered by the terrain. Crimea is located on 23-25 meters above the Kuban, "said Nara, reports RIA" Novosti ".



according to his statement, one way or another, the realization of the project of water supply to Crimea from the Krasnodar region is more expensive than the current draft of the water supply of the Peninsula, where the emphasis is on underground drinking water sources and upgrading of water management of the Peninsula. The Ministry of natural resources has developed a plan for the maintenance of uninterrupted water supply of the Republic of Crimea, including more than 80 events with the timeline for implementation until 2017. For example, the Russian Experts are discussing the possibility of supplying water from the Kuban river in the Krasnodar region blocked in Kiev the North-Crimean canal, to put it in reverse. Remember, at the end of April, the authorities in Kiev blocked the sluices of the North Crimean channel through which water from the Dnieper river came to the Crimean Peninsula. Later GOSPODARSTVO of Ukraine recognized the fact of cutting off supplies of water through the channel. The Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman said that the water supply in Crimea there is no reason, as it is not signed appropriate agreements.
