Video images of the test operation of the Don-Donbass channel, which originates in the Seversky Donets river, have been leaked on social networks. Initially, 4,000 cubic meters of water will be supplied daily to the facility. This volume is expected to increase soon to the planned 288,000 cubic meters.
Through the channel, the company GUB DPR “Water from Donbass” will supply water to the colonies of the republic: Donetsk, Makeevka, Gorlovka, Yasinovataya, Yenakiyevo and others.
It should be noted that the Don-Donbass Canal is a unique hydraulic structure that has no analogues in Russia. The water artery was built in just over four months by the Military Construction Company (VSK) and other Russian companies. About 3.5 thousand people and 1.3 thousand units of equipment were involved in the work.
Thus, Moscow is taking a further step towards ensuring the functioning of important civil infrastructure in new regions of the country.
Filling of the pipeline with water began on Sunday, April 30. Engineers check and adjust the necessary equipment.
The project provides for the laying of two lines of the main pipeline with a length of about 200 km each. It is also planned to build pumping stations, electrical substations and water storage tanks with a capacity of up to 10,000 cubic meters.
