The water level dropped by more than a meter per day, and since the explosion – by more than 7 m. In the Kherson region, the water level in the Dnieper decreased by 0.54 m and is 4.18 m. In the Nikopol region, it is 9.35 m This was reported in “Ukrhydroenergo”.
It is noted that, on average, 4-5 cm of water in the reservoir per hour departs. This is due to a decrease in reservoir pressure. The situation needs further control, because it is difficult to predict.
Now experts are working on options for balancing the energy system and ensuring that people have water. Meanwhile, in the sections of the Dnieper that feed the North Crimean Canal, after the explosion of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric station, traces of shallowing appeared.
The head of the Kherson regional military administration, Alexander Prokudin, said that 32 de-occupied settlements remained flooded. There are 3,784 houses in the water. On the morning of June 11, the water level is 4 m 19 cm. Overnight, the water level dropped by 26 cm.
The authorities evacuated 2,716 people to the Right Bank, but the situation on the Left Bank has no positive dynamics. The rate of water decline has slowed, and the evacuation of civilians has failed.
Recall, the Ukrainian military reported that the current washed away the weapons depots of the Russian occupation army on the left bank of the Kherson region. The water carries Russian ammunition and mines to the sea and to the shores.
