reunification of the Autonomous Region of Crimea with Russia caused the new Ukrainian authorities to the complex and painful reaction.The fact that this act was supported by the majority of the population of the peninsula, at first they denied.However, further action is clearly confirmed awareness of the reliability of this situation.North Crimean Canal, which provides up to 85% of the needs of the inhabitants of the Crimea and its economic structure, effectively stopped working.
Converters nature
To imagine the magnitude of the hydraulic structure, we need only point to the fact that a large artificial river in the world.The length of the waterway more than four hundred kilometers, built its entire Union.The very idea of a man-made system, gave birth to the barren arid lands, evidence of the desire of the two Soviet leaders Stalin and Khrushchev, for all their dissimilarity to show the world the benefits of the new social system, socialism, and steadfastness and commitment to the transformation ofimprove everything, even nature itself.In the early fifties to implement plans for the transformation of landscapes and reliefs.Perceived as something real projects leveling mountains and rivers turning back.Not all of them have been implemented, but the North Crimean Canal, the passage of the card from which the Armenian and Tavria through Krasnoperekopsk repeatedly outlines and blue pencil Stalin handle tube, waiting for more good fortune.
Time Wonders
October 17 - the date for the remarkable generation of "the Sixties."In 1957, the day the Soviet spacecraft opened the era of satellites.In 1963, an explosion shook the town Armyansk, but he was not scared, but on the contrary, delighted thousands of people gathered at a solemn meeting.At the ceremony he came first secretary, a charge of TNT dare narrow bridge the ground, and rushed into the breach cheerful Dnieper water.So it was fundamentally resolved the question of irrigation, previously considered unsuitable for agriculture.Recently, there was another man-made miracle, Gagarin's flight, and of course, it is a priority in the minds of his contemporaries, but the North Crimean Canal, for all its apparent prosaic, turned out to be no less than amazing work of human hands.
complex system
Begun under Stalin construction was resumed in April 1961.On the stroke object sent the whole issues of specialized universities, and young engineers in practice, learning the subtleties of their chosen profession.Several construction management, mobile mechanized columns and other organizations received a task to create the conditions for irrigation of 180,000 hectares, which was not enough only one channel, so the North Crimean Canal - construction of complex and ramified, with lateral outflow pumping stations, discharge outletsand other hydraulic units.Such a broad scheme of preserving all other required infrastructure such as roads, railway beds, pipelines and power lines.To do this, we have erected numerous bridges.
Construction stages
first and foremost waterway as a whole was completed by 1978.A single plan assumed irrigation area of the peninsula and the end of construction in Yevpatoriya.According to him, and acted until 1990, commissioning year to 30 kilometers of water routes.The final stage, which began in 1985, was not completed.In 1991, on the ruins of a great country any new independent states, including Ukraine.North Crimean Canal proved to be too heavy a burden for the economy of this country, and the construction was halted, though it did not have quite the end of a small amount on a macroeconomic scale, 23 million hryvnia.
Features
and unfinished, a giant building is impressive in its scope.Its construction is constantly attended by ten thousand highly skilled workers.Total cost estimates made in comparable prices exceeded half a billion Soviet rubles.Water in the North-Crimean channel can pass at a rate of 300 tonnes per second, providing admission to the peninsula volume of 1 billion 300 million cubic meters per year.During the construction of extracted almost half a billion cubic meters of soil.Three million tons of concrete packed in the bottom and the walls of the channel.Its width in some areas is one hundred and fifty meters.Construction lasted a total of 36 years.All of these characteristics could be the pride of any nation of the planet, anywhere in the world.The Americans are happy to talk about the Hoover Dam in Nevada, and bringing tourists to it.North Crimean Canal has not received this honor.
overlap channel
during the period of the Crimea as part of Ukraine JSC domestic economic issues to solve difficult.The peninsula was considered a subsidized region, its accumulated debts to the state budget, including those used for the Dnieper water.What would be the further development of events, and how this problem could be solved, and now we can only guess.There were no projects to improve the efficiency of the economy Autonomous Region, apparently, there was at least of them is not known.Her separation from Ukraine after the events on the Maidan has translated the relations between the peninsula and the "rest of the country," the de facto status of interstate.
As an incentive to return the breakaway peninsula in April 2014 North Crimean Canal blocked.However, and this fact was denied, although the evidence is sufficient to him.This channel is empty, and shots taken from a plane, proving attempts to fill the channel light polypropylene bags filled with sand or soil.Ukrainian authorities claim that the construction of accounting item tempered water are other explanations, often contradictory, but the fact remains, the water does not arrive to the peninsula.The government of the subject of the Russian Federation has taken steps to ensure the independence of the external hydraulic supply.The Ukrainian government has actually admitted Crimean foreigners.
further development of the conflict - the theme of bold hypotheses.One thing is clear: it is only part of the backlog of international problems.
