Some local residents have been seen desperately trying to save their belongings in homes with water levels nearing the ceiling.
The Kakhovka Dam , downstream from the huge Kakhovka reservoir, provides much needed water to farmers and residents, as well as to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant . It is also a vital channel carrying water south to Russian-occupied Crimea .
The Peak of a huge water spill downstream from the emptying reservoir was expected on Wednesday morning, warned Ukraine 's state-owned hydropower plants administrator Ukrhydroenergo.
