The North Crimean Canal has begun to fill with water, the Russian state information service RIA reported on Friday. The canal introduced water from the Dnipro River to Crimea. The service studies that the canal is slowly filling water and is predicted to be made usable on April 15.
The canal was inbuilt 1975 to supply water primarily for agriculture and business. After Russia took management of Crimea in 2014, Russian officers took over the canal services, which had been owned and operated by the State Water Sources Company of Ukraine. Ukrainian officers reported that the Russian authorities didn’t pay for water supply, and subsequently Ukraine dammed up the canal.
A 2015 research in a Russian journal studies that 85% of the water in Crimea got here by way of the canal, of which 72% was used for agriculture, 10% for business, and 18% for consuming water and different public wants.
