Friday, January 8, 2021
Massandra’s future may be in doubt as Crimea runs out of water. Last week, Crimea had only 31 million cubic meters of water in its reservoirs, one third the 92 million cubic meters of one year ago, reports the Crimean Department of Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring, according to Ukrinform. With the peninsula drying up, water rationing has been imposed in all cities. Irrigated land has been cut from 4,000 square kilometers in 2013, the year before Russia’s occupation to 171 square km today.
