Natural prerequisites for pronounced spring floods have formed in Ukraine. Water levels in many rivers have already risen by an average of 2.5 meters. This was announced by Deputy Minister of Economy, Ecology and Agriculture Irina Ovcharenko on the Suspilne TV channel.. “All the natural prerequisites for a pronounced spring flood have been formed. In most river basins, water reserves in the snow cover are at the level of average and above average climatic indicators. The soil in some places is frozen to 10-70 cm, which means active surface runoff during melting,” the press service of the Ministry of Economy quotes her as saying.. Currently, the most significant situation is observed in the Seversky Donets basin in the Kharkov region, as well as in the Cherkassy and Odessa regions. In the Odessa region, partial flooding of households has already been recorded in five settlements. In Kyiv, local flooding of floodplain areas is possible, in particular in the area of \u200b\u200bNatalka Park, Hydropark, Rusanovsky Gardens and Osokorki. Large reservoirs on the Dnieper cascade, Dniester and Southern Bug are ready to receive large amounts of water, but the situation on small rivers remains difficult, Ovcharenko added. " This is where local flooding occurs. Therefore, local communities should pay attention to these objects now,” the official emphasized. As we wrote earlier, in Kyiv the average monthly air temperature in February was 3 degrees below the climate norm. Let us add that the average monthly air temperature in Kyiv for the entire winter was -4.0°C, which is 1.5°C below the climate norm.
