About the water supply of Crimea

In May 2014, Ukraine blocked the intake of water to the Crimea through the North Crimean Canal from the Kherson region, it provided 90% of the needs of the peninsula. In 2020, the situation with water supply in Crimea became critical due to drought, it was resolved in the summer of 2021, when rains passed. Water in the Republic of Crimea is accumulated in reservoirs, the level of which depends significantly on the precipitation, and also comes from rivers that feed the reservoirs.

Problems with water in Crimea seriously affect the agricultural sphere of the peninsula, limiting the possibilities of irrigation and irrigation of crops. As Lyudmila Radchenko, deputy head of the Crimean Research Institute, previously reported, the moisture level in the soil meter layer in the Republic of Crimea has reached a minimum over the past 30-40 years. Due to the insufficient number of April precipitation in 2025, the death of crops of spring and winter crops is observed at the Research Institute of Agriculture of Crimea. Due to the death of the crop, the emergency mode was introduced in eight regions of the Republic of Crimea due to the death of cultures in connection with the drought.
