Shallowing of the Kakhovsky Reservoir can lead to an ecological disaster

Kakhovska Hes

Nova Kakhovka is rapidly going under water

The shallowing of the Kakhovsky Reservoir may lead to an ecological disaster if the water level drops below 12,7m, - Ministry of Ecology.

In addition, there is a threat to the full operation of the ZNPP captured by the occupiers. In the future, a number of cities and settlements may be left without water. When the water level drops critically, a plague of fish and birds will begin.

If the level drops below 14 meters, 200 people living in Nikopol, Marganka and nearby territories will be without access to drinking water.

If the mark falls below the indicator of 13,2 m, there is a risk of a nuclear disaster.

The critical moment of rising water is expected in 24 hours

"There is a threat of the hydrostation being washed away. If this happens, the dam will be destroyed and in about an hour we can see another plus three meters in Kherson. And this will be a critical level. Currently, there is no such situation," warned Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the OV.

Kherson continues to flood: after the occupiers blew up the Kakhovskaya HPP, water rapidly engulfed the districts.
