It decreased by 0.4 m per day and as of 8.00 today, June 15, it amounted to 2.04 m. This was reported by the press service of PJSC “Ukrhydroenergo”.
It is noted that during the day below the Kakhovskaya HPP, the decline in water levels by 1-10 cm per hour continues with the content of flooding.
Due to a sharp drop in the water level in the downstream of the Dnieper HPP, the station’s hydroelectric units can operate with limitations. There have been no idle discharges of water into the downstream of the reservoir since May, Ukrhydroenergo notes.
Ukrhydroenergo adds that work is also ongoing on the project for the construction of a bridge (overlapping) of the Kakhovka reservoir after de-occupation.
According to preliminary calculations, this will take 2-3 months, the company notes.
