One of the builders of the channel Georgii Kapshuk said that in an interview to the "Krymskii Telegraph" newspaper as Corruption.info reports with reference to Censor.net. He pointed out that if the problem with water supply via North-Crimea channel is not resolved in the coming year the unique water artery will be destroyed and lost forever. Moreover, the population of the area will have to leave. Source:http://en.censor.net.ua/p339230
"Everyone reiterates that artesian wells will save the Crimea from the lack of water. In our time we plugged the wells from Perekop to Kerch when we received the water from the Dnipro river. And there were wells to which we pumped the Dnipro water to fill them. But now it is impossible to drink the water from the channel. It is too salty. If we pump the water from the wells all the time what is next?Если все время качать из скважин, что будет дальше? A disaster. What can you do in the Crimea without water? I have only one solution. If the problem with the North-Crimea channel is not solved in political, diplomatic way, making compromises, it will die, and everything that existed in the north, the north-south, the north-west, the north-east of the Crimea, all the infrastructure will die, too. The people will go away from there, the villages will die." Kapshuk said. Source:http://en.censor.net.ua/p339230
"Everything is abandoned there now. If the channel is not used for another year — good-buy the North Crimea channel!. I often go there. I am not sentimental, but I have tears in my eyes when I see what is left there!.This steel concrete is like a living organism. In summer when the ground is heated up to 60 degrees and there is no water — it grates, leads. Eleven thousand kilometers of channels — inter-farm, irrigation, pipelines. As from here to Alaska. It cannot stay without water.in summer." Kapshuk said.
