The State Agency for Water Resources calls on the authorities of Kiev to prepare for a possible flood, which was not in the capital for the last eight years. This was stated by the head of the department Irina Ovcharenko, writes Today. "To date, the snow cover in the capital area is 31 centimeters. This exceeds by 150% the existing rate of water that is in the snow. And when everything starts to melt, there is a great danger of underflooding, because the ground is frozen only slightly, and the water will fall into the tributaries of the Dnieper and accumulate in the Kiev and Kanev reservoirs, "she said.. According to Ovcharenko, experts identified the most risky areas. "We identified three risky locations in the city that can be flooded during the floods in the capital. These are the Rusanovsky Gardens, Osokorky and Korchevatoe. Now we are working out a special regime for the operation of hydroelectric power stations, which will pass through the water all the way through themselves to avoid major flooding. Perhaps we will have to open locks locally and release water to flood it, but this will not damage the urban infrastructure and settlements that are located near the city, "Ovcharenko said.. According to her, the peak of the flood on the Dnieper in the Kiev region is expected on April 15. In KCSA they say that they keep the situation with flood under control. "First of all, we have a cascade of hydroelectric power stations that regulate the water level in the Dnieper. Therefore, if there is flooding and excess of the groundwater level, water discharge at HPPs located below Kiev will automatically be increased. We have a hydrological post that keeps constant monitoring of the water level in the Dnieper. And at the moment it is at the level of the norm, "- said the head of the State University for Emergency KSCA Roman Tkachuk, the official also said that the authorities are even ready to evacuate the population. "If there is a threat of flooding of territories, we will inform the public. This primarily concerns the private sector, for example, it regularly pours Diesel locomotive, Zhulyany village. We know all the places that can flood during the flood.

Rescuers are ready to promptly put the pumps there for pumping water and in case of need to evacuate the population, "said Tkachuk. He adds that, first of all, the municipal services will pay attention to cleaning stormwater in the city. "Kievavtodor has special brigades that are engaged in cleaning stormwater, and this work will be done," Tkachuk believes.. Recall the damage from the flood in Transcarpathia, which happened in December last year, the government estimated at 182 million hryvnia. News from Telegram.
