@poltem1 So this is the reply in which you are supposed to use critical thinking?🤣 And you even ask me if I know how a dam works, while being completely oblivious to its function yourself.🤣🤣🤣 But let's at least adress your points to show your incompetence.
"you can see that the river hasn't dropped a centimer and has probably still risen by a bit" - Compared to which period of time from what footage? Irrelevant.
"Like Ukraine has to block the flow of water, near zaporizhia or something, in order to drop the river level" - Did I say they did that recently? Irrelevant.
" if you block water, water has to go somewhere" - Yes, it goes into the dam reservoir. That's the primary function of the dam, to hold large quantities of water.
"And coincidentally no where near any of the dams of the dnipr any floodings have been found" - Flooding was reported in Kiev region at the start of spring due to overfilling of the reservoirs. Then, just a few weeks before the Kakhovka disaster, record discharges have been reported on the upper Dniepro cascade dams, which led to Kakhovka reservoir getting filled above the normal level. And only about a week after the disaster, the discharge has been reduced to normal flow, which is also the present level.
Now back to my previous reaction, the point of which you obviously missed altogether, so I'll try to explain in simple terms. Now, when Kakhovka dam is destroyed, Ukraine has full control over the flow all the way to the sea. Which was not the case, when the Kakhovka dam was still standing and was under Russian control. If the dam wasn't destroyed, Russians could use it flood the Kherson islands in case of any significant Ukrop effort to create a bridgehead on them. But because it is destroyed, Russians can't do anything to cut Ukrops off. Do you understand now? I see no way how this could be explained in any simpler way.
