In the Kakhovskyi reservoir, the water level dropped by 72%. 14,395 cubic kilometers of water were lost.
As of the morning of June 12, the water level in the reservoir continues to decrease, the Ministry of Environment reported.
More than 72%, or 14,395 cubic kilometers of water, has already been lost from the reservoir.
As of the evening of June 11, the water level in the reservoir in the Nikopol area was about 9.04 m. According to the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, since yesterday it is no longer possible to measure the water level at the Nikopol hydrostation, as it has moved away from the observation point. Currently, they are looking for possible ways to determine the level and volume of water in the Kakhovsky Reservoir.
The water level in the Dnipro at the “Kherson” mark has dropped by 2 m, and is 3.6 m. On average, over the last day, the trend of lowering the level by 1-5 cm per hour has been maintained.
In the area of the “Nizhnyodniprovskyi” nature park, the water is gradually receding. The shallowing of the water area in the Kamianska Sich National Park by 8.5 m continues.
The water level of the Ingulets River in the Ingulets irrigation system is slowly decreasing. Instead, water gradually continues to arrive in the Mykolaiv region.
Specialists of the State Environmental Inspection, the State Agency for Water Resources and mobile laboratories, wherever possible, carry out constant monitoring of water and air quality.
We will remind you that on the night of June 6, the Russian invaders blew up the Kakhovskaya HPP. The disaster has already caused tragic consequences in the form of water pollution, a sea of fish and the flooding of the Kherson region. In particular, due to the explosion of the Kakhovskaya dam, Ukraine may lose the agricultural sector in the Kherson region.
