War for water. How to save Ukrainian water reservoirs from the consequences of hostilities
add to calendaradd to calendarThe Russian armed aggression against Ukraine makes the state of Ukraine’s water resources worse and worse every day, destroying purification facilities, dams and water reservoirs. And industrial facilities damaged by bombing and shelling can pollute local water reservoirs with dangerous substances. With its environmental crimes, Russia has already caused millions of dollars of damage to Ukraine. How will the war influence the quality of water resources and how will this affect the health of Ukrainians? Can Ukraine have clean water in the near future?
