In Russian-occupied Mariupol, the Starokrymske reservoir, the only source of water for the city, has almost completely dried up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was reported<\/a> in the Mariupol City Council.<\/p>\n

The City Council notes that most of the reservoir has simply “dried up.” There is very little water left.<\/p>\n\t

Even the Russian occupiers admit that in addition to water shortages, the city faces the loss of fish and aquatic ecosystems. There is also an increased risk of outbreaks of infections.<\/p>\n

The approximate flow of water from the reservoir to the city is 35,000 cubic meters per day, although the city needs 150,000 cubic meters.<\/p>\n

It is noted that the accelerated shallowing of the reservoir could lead to complete dehydration of the city.<\/p>\n

Before the Russian occupation, Mariupol received water from two sources – the Seversky Donets Canal, which was destroyed as a result of hostilities, and the reserve Starokrymsk Reservoir. Currently, the city relies solely on the reserve water supply from the reservoir.<\/p>\n

It was previously reported that the water crisis in the occupied Donetsk region has reached a critical level, with water being supplied there once every few days or not at all, and the situation is only getting worse<\/a> .<\/p>\n
