Due to Russian damage to the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station dam, there was a threat to the water supply in the Dnepropetrovsk region.
The authorities of the Dnipropetrovsk region continue to solve the problem of falling water levels in the Kakhovka reservoir, which arose due to the damage of the invaders to the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. This was announced on March 9 by the head of OVA, Serhiy Lysak, following a meeting with community leaders, RVA leaders, and heads of water utilities in Krivoy Rog and Nikopol districts.
“The dam of the Kakhovskaya HPP was damaged by the enemy. The reservoir became shallow. Through titanic efforts, we managed to raise and maintain the water level in the Kakhovka Sea… We continued to solve the problem… Together we have found technical solutions. Design documentation and estimates are currently being worked on,” Lysak specified.
He added that the modernization of the equipment is expected so that it can function properly under martial law and consume less electricity.
“We also discussed the issues of post-war reconstruction. We will restore everything that was damaged and destroyed by the aggressor. First of all, social infrastructure facilities,” the head of the region emphasized.
Earlier, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said that Russia was trying to deprive Ukrainians of access to the water supply. After the partial destruction and deliberate opening of the floodgates at the occupied Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, Ukraine is losing thousands of cubic meters of water every day.
