Kakhovskaya HPP began to discharge water to lower the level of the reservoir – Kommersant

At the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, they began to discharge water from the Kakhovka reservoir in order to reduce its sharply rising level, the Telegram administration of the Novokakhovsk city district. Previously about lowering the water level also told member of the main council of the administration of the Zaporozhye region, head of the public movement “We are together with Russia” Vladimir Rogov.

“The military managed to partially solve the problem of lifting the shandor (this is a type of repair shutter). They also coped with the valve at the head station of the SCC in Tavriysk and sent part of the water to the Kakhovka main canal (to the surviving pipelines) in Lyubimovka, ”the message of the Kherson.ru channel, which was reposted by the administration, said. According to the channel, the water level in the reservoir is falling.

Formerly Mr. Rogov informedthat the water in the Kakhovka reservoir rose to a critical level. It is located on the territory of Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. According to Vladimir Rogov, one of the reasons for the increase in the water level is the flood and uncontrolled discharge of water from hydroelectric power stations in Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporozhye (under the control of Ukraine). He noted that the settlements of Kamenka-Dneprovskaya and Velikaya Znamenka on the left bank of the Dnieper were under the threat of flooding.
