“We would like to draw the attention of the residents of Primorye that this equipment is of no value if used for other purposes, as it is made of modern materials that cannot be handed over at scrap metal collection points. , – said in the appeal of Primhydromet.
The scientists explained that the disabling of the complex deprived them and the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the opportunity to monitor the development of rain floods in a continuous mode and obtain hydrological data of increased accuracy, which allows them to predict floods and floods in time.
