They have one 6 inch flex pipe running across from Russia feeding the entirety of Crimea. The massive holding pond they had for reserve is now completely dry. Residences are collecting rain water to drink and bathe in yet they wouldn't blame Russia for the mess in front of the cameras, only Ukraine. They just said its an inconvenience but we will get through it lol. The recent moves of Amphibious landing craft hints that Russia is going to make a push in from the sea on the west side of Crimea or at least act like they are to seize the canals and steal another large chunk of Ukraine in the south so they cant cut off the water or power anymore to Crimea or Donbass if they wanted too. Below is the canal system that comes from the Deniper River system. Russia will need to seize it all the way up past the second Hydro-electric station that feeds Donbass.it would be interesting to know to what extent the alternative water supply sources can provide Crimea. Considering that about 90% of water use is for farming, but the provision of the 10% of drinking water came first for obvious reasons, if we can verify if drinking water is rationed (even if people is not dieing for thirst), we can then deduce that situation is pretty tragic because that would be mean Crimean farming is colapsing.
