There's no significant drinking water source in Crimea. And this was the dam directing water to Crimean water channel. Not sure what other credible source you may want.
- dmix 3y agoThe next question is how long would it take to repair if it does slow down / reroute the counter offensive? There's lots of evidence it harms Russian troop build ups in the region but only if they plan on abandoning the southern Kherson region and don't have any plans beyond that.
- wolverine876 3y ago> Not sure what other credible source you may want. I'm a little confused: You did not provide any source. You're not obligated to provide any, but I don't understand your comment.
- wtallis 3y agoFYI, it stops looking like innocent questioning when you put more time and effort into repeating the question in multiple places than into looking up the answer yourself. If you think someone is wrong, then be forthright about that, and consider whether addressing the lack of adequate sourcing is still necessary after you've made a real contribution to the conversation. In a topic like this one, people can reasonably make very different assumptions about what is "common knowledge" that doesn't need full citations every time it's mentioned.

- tivert 3y agoThe GGP is neither a credible source (it's an unsupported statement by an internet rando) nor speculation that withstands much scrutiny (IIRC, circa 2014, Ukraine had blocked the channel that supplies water to Crimea, and that didn't cause the Russians to abandon it then, and I don't see why now would be any different). There's a lot of wishful thinking and propaganda swirling around this conflict, and strong claims need strong evidence.
- wolverine876 3y agoI'd say any claim needs evidence (with some extreme exceptions), and in fact it's only the evidence that's worth reading, not the claim. Rando claims have zero value by themselves - there is an infinite supply that say anything and everything. That's why science, law, etc. require evidence.
- wolverine876 3y agoPeople love making things up, now you're doing it about my intentions. It seems like evidence is out the window for everything. The evidence is only that I expressed interest in a source. The rest is your fabrication. Have a good day!
- yorwba 3y agoThe dam disappearing doesn't mean the flow of water disappears. The water level might drop below the intake of the North Crimean Canal, but the canal already requires pumping water uphill to get it all the way to Crimea, so the dam doesn't necessarily have to be fully reconstructed to deal with a lower water level, a second pumping station would be enough.
- friend_and_foe 3y agoA credible source that they're about to abandon Crimea would be nice.
