Some days ago, the fake “deputy minister of agriculture” of the invaders, Nikolai Tyutyunnik, decided to boast about “increasing the area of irrigated land” to “as much as” 20 thousand hectares.
The motivation of the “officials” is obvious, since in 2024 at least 200 million rubles “dissolved” in “reclamation” in the occupied Crimea. At the same time, the simplest question is where “in the Bakhchisarai and Krasnogvardeisky districts” the water for land reclamation comes from. Tyutyunnik has a simple answer: “the main source of irrigation is wells.”
Naturally, no one in Crimea thinks about the fact that there will be big problems with aquifers after such thoughtless “innovative reclamation.”
But there is another component of the problem, which Grigory Prokopov, a “senior lecturer at the Department of Geoecology” from the fake “Crimean Federal University,” let slip about: this is the “clearing of the beds” of Crimean rivers, which “are simply transformed into “dead canals.”
Let us recall that over the last decade the occupiers wrote off considerable funds for the “clearing of the riverbeds” of the Crimean rivers, which, unfortunately, were not completely stolen.
Now, for the collaborators in the person of Prokopov, a simple truth has been “revealed,” apparently inaccessible to them before, that during flood periods “the floodplain should be flooded, because it is during flooding that the groundwater horizons become saturated.”
Now, during floods in the “cleared” Belbek, Kach, Alma and so on, all the “extra water” flows straight into the sea. At the same time, the Crimean “authorities” continue to reassure the population with a story about millions of cubic meters in the Crimean reservoirs, however, constantly getting confused about these figures.
