Water quality in Odesa and the region is under threat
Due to the bad weather that has hit neighboring countries, water quality in Ukraine may deteriorate. Odesa and the region are at the highest risk.
The deterioration of the situation was reported by the Odesa Regional Center for Disease Control and Prevention. It is noted that there is a threat of surface water pollution in the region.
In particular, it concerns the pollution of the Dniester and Danube rivers, as well as the largest natural lake in Ukraine, Yalpuh. These two rivers and the lake are sources of drinking water supply for part of the population of Odesa Region.
According to the Center, to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases and emergencies, experts have intensified monitoring of the quality of drinking water supply and control over the health of the region's population.
"If the epidemic situation worsens, we will inform you further. The situation is under constant control," the experts say.
Last weekend, Storm Boris hit Central and Eastern Europe, causing heavy rains and flooding. The storm caused huge damage to Poland, the Czech Republic and Austria. There are dead and missing people in the flooded areas.
As reported by OBOZ.UA:
In Austria, the Czech Republic, and Poland, precipitation caused a terrible flood. The region was declared a natural disaster zone. As a result of the bad weather, there are deaths, at least 1600 people have been evacuated. In addition, hundreds of thousands of households lost power, power lines were destroyed, and there were significant disruptions in railroad traffic.
Several flights have been canceled due to the floods in Poland and the Czech Republic. Ukrzaliznytsia allows passengers to transfer to other flights for free during the day without exchanging tickets, and trains from Prague to Chop will be detoured with a short delay.
On September 15, Odesa was also hit by a heavy downpour. It turned many streets into rivers, flooded houses, and paralyzed traffic on some streets.
