Due to climate changes, Ukraine is threatened with a serious water crisis, in some regions it is necessary to introduce an hourly supply of water.
This was reported by the Head of the State Agency for Infrastructure Restoration and Development Sergey Sukhomlin, writes Public .
“Today, Ukraine is ranked 23-24 in the world according to international research. We are in the last place in Europe, and the situation is not improving, ”the official said.
According to him, most drinking water reserves Ukraine receives from rivers that do not start in its territory, and in this aspect the most difficult can be the situation in the south, namely in the Odessa region, whose water supply depends on the Dniester.
“This means that in the case of political or climatic changes, transit water may disappear or decrease. If the situation with water in the upper part of the reaches intensifies, then the regions above the stream will ensure themselves first, ”Sukhomlin said.
Separately he stressed the rapid exhaustion of groundwater, When Rain water no longer has time to replenish aquifers.
“We see a mass drying of sources in Odessa and surrounding settlements. The extraction of water from the ground is becoming more complicated, ”he says.
Another problem is the deterioration of water quality, because, according to the head of the State Agency, in Ukraine only 32% of wastewater undergo a full treatment, which creates additional load on the water intake and requires more expenses for purification of drinking water. Partly to solve the problem, he says, will allow the Nikolaev water supply, the construction of which is completed and which must be put into operation in August 2025.
However, to really solve the problem of water supply in Ukraine, the official says, it is necessary to create a single National Center for Water Management. In his opinion, water issues should be part of a national security strategy. Otherwise The problem will only be exacerbated, ”Sukhomlin added.
We will remind, in 2024 in Kirovograd region arid The period lasted five months, it has been observed for the first time since 1945.
