Water level in Crimea canal remains stable despite dam breach -Russian-backed governor

The water level in the North Crimean Canal, which carries water from the Kakhovka reservoir behind the breached Kakhovka dam to the Crimean peninsula, remains stable, the Russian-appointed governor of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, said on Thursday.

Crimea relies heavily on water transported by the canal. Kyiv blocked the canal after Moscow seized the peninsula in 2014, causing years of acute water shortages.
