Blowing up the Kakhovskaya HPP: the Institute of Soil Protection predicts the migration of heavy metals with dust

As a result of the shallowing of the Kakhovsky Reservoir, wind erosion is predicted on its territory, which may cause the migration of heavy metals with dust. This was stated by the Deputy General Director of the Institute of Soil Protection Roman Palamarchuk during a round table at the Military Media Center. “After the flooded soils cease to be irrigated, the migration of salts to the upper horizons will begin, and in the future this will pose a danger to ecology. As for the territory of the Kakhov reservoir, which will soon be, in fact, drained, as a result, there will be wind erosion, which will cause migration of heavy metals with dust,” he said.

For example, there is no information at all from the occupied left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region. It will be recalled that the occupiers blew up the Kakhovskaya HPP on the night of June 6. Water flooded the territories of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. They tried to evacuate people and animals from Kherson. Currently, the water is gradually receding, but a number of settlements remain flooded. Among the consequences are also the plague of fish, the destruction of a number of natural parks, the unfitness of water for consumption and the desalination of the Black Sea.
