The water level in the Kakhovka Reservoir dropped by another meter during the day

The water level in the Kakhovsky Reservoir dropped by another meter during the day after the Kakhovka Dam blew up.

“As of 8:00 a.m. on June 11, the level of the Kakhovka reservoir in the Nikopol area is 9.35. The water level has dropped by more than a meter in a day, and by more than 7 meters since the explosion,” Ukrhydroenergo reports.

According to their information, the water level in the Dnieper in Kherson is 4.18 m, the indicator has decreased by 0.54 m per day. It is noted that the average ebb rate is 4-5 cm per hour.

Experts associate this with a decrease in the head (pressure) of the reservoir.

However, the situation is difficult to predict and requires further monitoring, emphasizes Ukrhydroenergo.

Also, there is information that army warehouses of the Russian occupiers were washed away on the Left Bank, the current carries ammunition and mines

The occupiers built several defense lines on the left bank of the Dnieper, including mine and explosive barriers, which consisted of several rows of mines.

“The first floodwaters flooded their dugouts and trenches – even then they lost part of their personnel and weapons. In this strip from 5 to 15 km, which was flooded, there were also their field warehouses. All of this is now spread over the flood zone and can be dangerous,” said Nataliya Humenyuk, spokeswoman for the OC “South”.
