Area of Kakhovka reservoir decreased by 50%, - "Ukrhydroenergo"

As of June 12, the reservoir has decreased by 50%. There is 60-70% less water in the Kakhovka reservoir than before the explosion.

General Director of "Ukrhydroenergo" Ihor Syrota told about this, Censor.NET informs.

He also emphasized that there will be serious consequences for the environment if the water in the reservoir falls below the critical level - about 3 meters.

"We hope that the lower hydro-technical structure has remained intact. If so, the level of the Kakhovka reservoir may remain within 6-7 meters. If it is damaged, the water level will drop below the critical level," Syrota said.
