The project provides for the construction of water pipelines Karachunovskoe reservoir – Krivoy Rog – Southern reservoir, Marganets – Nikopol, Khortytsya (DVS2) – Tomakovka. The water pipeline will consist of 3 sections of the main water pipeline with a length of about 150 km.
This will provide water to at least a million people from Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, Mykolaiv and Kherson regions.
Background
70% of Krivoy Rog (Dnepropetrovsk region) may be left without water. Most of the city is fed from the Kakhovka reservoir. People are urged to temporarily reduce consumption, at night the pressure in the taps will be relieved.
There is water in the taps of Kryvyi Rih residents, but it is necessary to save money, said Alexander Vilkul, head of the CAA. He believes that the industry should also switch to an economical mode. Now the question of creation of new water intakes is solved.
In Krivoy Rog, during the year of Russian occupation of the Kakhovka reservoir, more than 14 km of pipes were laid to optimize the water supply system, and the canal was deepened, which supplies water from the Kakhovka reservoir. The Karachunovskoe and Yuzhnoe reservoirs were filled with water up to the maximum value beforehand.
All this gives us now some head start in time. There is no reason to panic. There will be water in the city,” Vilkul said immediately after the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station was blown up.
In Kryvyi Rih, the Central City district and partially the Metallurgichesky, Dolgintsevsky and Saksagansky districts are supplied with water from the Karachunovsky reservoir. There are no risks in this part of the city. In other districts, and this is 70% of the city, water is supplied from the Kakhovka reservoir through the canal to the Yuzhnoye reservoir and distributed to consumers from it.
Therefore, in Kryvyi Rih, they decided to reduce water consumption by 30-40% in areas that receive water from Kakhovka.
