Intensive use of water from the lower horizons has led to the fact that the areas under crops in the annexed Crimea are being reduced, and soils are becoming salinized.
This is on air "The Observer. LIVE ", said journalist, TV host and blogger Larisa Voloshina.
"Indeed, there is salinization of soils. Back in March, there were reports that in the north of the Crimea in the Armiansk area people were leaking from the water taps of water, that the algae were clogging the water pipe. I consulted about this with Ukrainian environmentalists, and they said that yes, it is possible, "she said..
According to Voloshina, this is due to the geographical location of the peninsula.
"What is the Crimea?" This is a mushroom that stands on the sea. There really is a large quantity of fresh water, but these were canned vaults, it is enough for Crimeans to drink it and it resumes. But it is not enough for agriculture and for industry, which is in the Crimea. And this water, when it is pumped from the underground storages, in its place is supported by salt water and it simply goes to the wells, "the TV presenter.
She also noted that without the Dnipro water this process will only worsen.
"A significant part of the Dnieper water from the North-Crimean canal was used to wash these underground storage facilities to prevent sea water from rising.
Channel is blocked. Therefore, they pump water or even do not pump, we must understand that in any case without a North-Crimean canal there will still be salinity, "Voloshin summed up.
As reported by the "Observer", Voloshina previously said that the majority of the inhabitants of the occupied part of Donbass do not want to fulfill the conditions of the Minsk agreements on a special status for their region.
