Hydrological Crisis: How the Anomalous July 2026 Threatened the Ecosystems of Ukrainian Rivers

Science 08/07/2026, 12:03
🌊 July 2026 was critical for Ukrainian rivers: the water volume of most waterways was significantly below normal. Precipitation deficit up to 80% across most of the country, although in some areas — downpours up to 300% of the norm. Ecosystems are under threat, especially on the Southern Bug and Pripyat. Ukraine is one of the most water-intensive countries in Europe, but freshwater reserves per capita are among the lowest. #Ukraine #Hydrology #Ecology #July2026
