Officially: there is no threat of flooding of the Crimea due to the destruction of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station

CrimeaPRESS reports:

The head of the Republic of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, reported on the current situation with water in Crimea, related to the destruction of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. According to him, there is no threat of flooding of the Crimea.

However, there is a risk that the North Crimean Canal will become shallow. At present, the water reserves in the canal are about 40 million cubic meters. Reservoirs, even those that were previously filled by 15-20%, currently have about 80% filling. Drinking water is more than enough. Work is underway to minimize water losses in the canal— said the Head of the Crimea.

As Sergei Aksyonov added, in the coming days, the dynamics and possible risks (primarily for agriculture) will become clear.
