Lubin: a drainage system in critical condition

Ukraine is facing a large -scale infrastructure crisis in the field of drainage. According to the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmitry Lubinets, about 40% of centralized drainage networks are worn so much that they need a complete replacement, and another 30% have already exhausted their service life.

Lubinets stated this during a presentation of a special report on the state of water infrastructure in Ukraine.

“The situation is critical. Frequent accidents on such networks have become just the norm. In addition, almost 50% of pumping stations and 55% of treatment facilities do not meet modern requirements. They need either capital reconstruction or immediate upgrading of equipment, ”the Ombudsman said.

Without money - in a dead end

According to Lubin, without proper financing of the modernization of water infrastructure, the situation will only deteriorate.

“If we do not allocate funds, then in the future the problems will simply become larger and larger. It's like a snow -accumulated snowball. In fact, we are running in a circle now, ”he said.

The war deepened the water crisis

Separately, the Ombudsman drew attention to the situation in the occupied territories, in particular in Donetsk, where, according to the Center for Combating Misinformation at NSDC, water is currently supplied only every three days.

Water resources are recognized in the government. The Minister of Protection of the Environment and Natural Resources of Ukraine Svitlana Grinchuk noted that many water supply systems were destroyed in the war, especially in frontline and occupied regions. According to her, Mindovquil plans to monitor water resources according to European standards to respond more promptly to problems.
