Kakhovka Reservoir has already lost three-quarters of its water

In the six days since Russians blew up the Kakhovka HPP, the water level in its reservoir has dropped by 72%. The water level is also decreasing in the flooded areas.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine reported this.

The reservoir has become so shallow that hydrologists can no longer measure the water level in the city of Nikopol, located on its shore.

The water is also falling downstream in the flooded city of Kherson. There, the water level has dropped by 2 metres. This trend continues — the water level decreases by 1-5 centimetres every hour.

At the same time, water continues to gradually arrive in the Mykolaiv region, which is located further away from the Dnipro River than the Kherson region.
