In Kyiv, the water level in the Dnieper has reached a historic peak, rising to its maximum in the first half of 2024. Over the past seven days, the water in the Dnieper, which flows through the capital, has risen by more than 60 centimeters, writes WomanEL.
The Kiev City Military Administration reported that on March 16, the water level reached 601 centimeters above the “0” post , and the water temperature is 3.9 degrees Celsius. According to the monitoring analysis, such an increase in water level was observed as a result of an increase in water discharges from the Kiev reservoir due to spring melting.
The head of the KMVA, Sergei Popko, noted that there was a significant fluctuation in the water level during the day. For example, on March 14, the water level varied from 620 cm to 577 cm, and at the time of recording it was 583 cm.
