Flow rate

What was the flow rate? In cubic meters for a single day, or the entire year. -G — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.44.121.234 (talk) 23:34, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The water consensus for Crimea was 1.3 billion m³ per year, which amounts to roughly 40 m³/s [see newspaper article machine-translated into awkward German].

The Wikipedia article mentions that the flow was "greatly reduced in 2014. This is a euphemism, the water was stopped, i.e. the flow was reduced to 0. The article should possibly be amended in that aspect. I can do it, but if this results in an edit war, I'd rather prefer not to touch the present text. Who has anything to say about this?

The actual text is: "Ukrainian authorities greatly reduced the volume of water flowing to the peninsula via the canal". It would be better to write: "Ukrainian authorities stopped the water flow to the peninsula in April 2014". The text could also specify that Andriy Senchenkoto's project to dam off the canal altogether was completed in 2017. Mregelsberger (talk) 11:55, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Canal is now Cut off from Dnipro River as of June 9, 2023

As of June 9 Satellite imagery shows that water has stopped flowing to the North Crimean canal. A small dam in the canal has prevented backflow but due to the lowering of the river there is now solid ground cutting off the canal entrance from the Dnipro which effectively means that without the dam to keep the water levels up the canal is now useless as anything but a reservior that will slowly empty due to use and evaporation. The canal will not receive water again until the wreckage of the old dam is removed and a new dam put in it's place which should take many years.
