Monitoring of the Kakhovka reservoir/river by altimetry

Category: Ocean and climate news

Theia Hydroweb time series for the Kakhovka reservoir. 2016-2023. Data available on hydroweb.theia-land.fr

The Hydroweb database – hydroweb.theia-land.fr – is monitoring changes in water levels over time on large lakes, reservoirs and rivers, from altimetry measurements. Hydroweb was not originally designed to monitor the degradation of reservoirs, either naturally or as a result of destruction, such as at the Kakhovka dam on the Dniepr river. Although it did provide relevant and accurate information on the evolution of the reservoir in the days following its recent explosion.

These data are intended for a variety of user communities: scientists, basin managers, water resource monitoring services in different regions, international bodies such as the WMO or the International Office for Water, etc.
