The peculiarity of providing Crimea with water resources is: increasing anthropogenic pressure on the state of water resources generated by population growth, use of resources in the process of militarization and in military-industrial needs, and climate change. The problem became particularly acute after the dry summer of 2020, when many media outlets began to report critical water shortages, particularly for utilities and domestic use. To what extent is the shortage critical and to what extent are we dealing with an objective reduction in water supply in the region, and to what extent - in increasing the use of water for the army, industry and population, which is constantly increasing throughout the annexation period. The purpose of this analytical study was to review the water supply situation of the peninsula on the basis of satellite data and open sources and to identify possible factors that, in addition to the often mentioned climate change and water supply through the North Crimean Canal, affect the water balance of the Crimean Peninsula. Results of the monitoring of water resources of the Crimean peninsula according to satellite imagery 4 Research methodology The assessment of water resources according to satellite imagery was performed on the basis of the analysis of the dynamics of the water mirror for the 50 largest water bodies (reservoirs and lakes) within the Crimean peninsula. In particular, it was determined by how much the area of the water mirror of reservoirs decreased in 2020, compared to 2015. Open free radar satellite data from the European Space Agency Sentinel-1 with a spatial resolution of 10 meters were used to highlight the area of the water mirror. Radar survey is widely used to decipher the water surface, in particular when analyzing the flood situation. Satellite imagery was processed in the Google Earth Engine software interface, which is a powerful web platform for cloud processing of remote sensing data on a large scale. The data processing algorithm was based on the UN-Spider method1 of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs. The program code is available at2. The surface area of the water surface can change significantly, in particular due to local weather conditions, such as after rains, and largely depends on the mode of water resources management, water intake and runoff, so based on the above algorithm, summer-averaged map layers with contours were created, water mirror as of summer 2020 and summer 2015. Thus, to create a cartographic layer for the summer of 2020, a total of 119 images for the period from 01.06 - 31.08.2020 for the entire territory of the Crimean Peninsula and 58 images for the period from 01.06 to 31.08.2015 were used to map the data for the summer of 2015. QGIS software calculated the difference between the data of 2020 and 2015, which allowed to determine 1 https://un-spider.org/advisory-support/recommended-practices/recommended-practice-google- earth-engine-flood-mapping/step-by-step 2 https://code.earthengine.google.com/af10e30571459100db739559c9246d57 Results of the monitoring of water resources of the Crimean peninsula according to satellite imagery 5 the area of drying or reduction of the water mirror. OpenStreetMap3 was used as the basic contours of water bodies. Data for the summer of 2015 were used for comparison with 2020 due to the fact that it was the oldest available summer time period of the satellite image Sentinel-1 (the satellite was launched in 2014). To compare the results, as well as to analyze a longer time series of satellite imagery to study the dynamics of water resources, we also used data from multispectral satellite imagery Landsat-8. The Landsat-8 satellite began operating in orbit in February 2013, before the annexation of Crimea. Due to the combination of image channels taken by this satellite in different spectral ranges, it is possible to determine the biogeochemical features of the territory. In particular, the normalized differential water index (NDWI), which is calculated based on the near and middle infrared image channels, was used as an indicator of the open water surface area. As the water surface area decreases, the NDWI index within the water body contour will also decrease. The Google Earth Engine software interface calculated the average values of the water index (NDWI) within the contours of water bodies for the period 2013-2020 and created graphs of their dynamics. In total, the analysis included 315 images for the specified period (only data with a cloudiness of no more than 10% were used in the analysis). For each analyzed water body, graphs of the dynamics of average annual and average annual NDWI values for the period 2013-2020 were obtained, and the difference between NDWI values for 2013 and 2020 was determined. This analysis was used to identify the trend and the possible year of the beginning of the drying up of reservoirs on the territory of the Crimean peninsula. Based on the results of the analysis, maps of the reduction of the water surface area were created based on Sentinel-1 radar data and Landsat-8 3 OpenStreetMap Contributors (https://download.geofabrik.de) Results of the monitoring of water resources of the Crimean peninsula according to satellite imagery 6 multispectral data. Thus, zones of water resources reduction within the Crimean peninsula were identified. To identify climatic and anthropogenic factors affecting water resources, maps of average rainfall, earth's surface temperature and evaporation rate during the summer of 2020 were created. Relevant climatic parameters were obtained from the data set Google Earth Engine and Giovanni NASA4. The illuminance index according to the night satellite survey was used as an indicator of the dynamics of anthropogenic load5. This index is used to assess the dynamics of urbanization, infrastructure development, as well as an indirect demographic indicator. 4 https://giovanni.gsfc.nasa.gov/giovanni/ 5 https://www.lightpollutionmap.info/ Results of the monitoring of water resources of the Crimean peninsula according to satellite imagery 7 Research results As a result of the analysis of the state of water bodies within the Crimean peninsula for the summer period of 2020 and 2015, according to the Sentinel-1 satellite radar data, a reduction of the water mirror of almost all water bodies by an average of 32% was revealed. Table 1 lists the 42 largest bodies of water on the peninsula, the area of the reservoir according to OpenStreetMap and the area of drying or reduction of the water mirror in 2020 compared to 2015.

  • Crimean Tatars After Russia's Annexation of the Crimean Peninsula
    Centre for Eastern Studies NUMBER 141 | 30.06.2014 www.osw.waw.pl Crimean Tatars after Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula Tadeusz A. Olszański After Russia’s annexation of Crimea, Crimean Tatars face the necessity of working out a mo- dus vivendi to cope with the difficult situation which now confronts them. On the one hand, the desire to remain in their homeland, which they regained after exile in Soviet times, is an imperative encouraging them to accept the status quo, while on the other, the fear of Russia and the strong relations of Crimean Tatar elites with Kyiv would favour opposing the present state of affairs. Another fact pointing in favour of an agreement with Moscow is that Kyiv has not attempted to defend Crimea and has not been active in demanding its return to Ukraine, which has undermined Kyiv’s authority in the eyes of the Tatars. Therefore, the leaders of the Mejlis of Crimean Tatars (the national self-government) act carefully, trying to avoid actions which could be seen as provocative and thus liable to incite retribution.
