Impact of Armed Conflicts on Water Resources and Infrastructure

The webinar highlights the increasing trend in recorded conflicts where water was used as a trigger and as a casualty over the past decade. A key focus is set on the armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which led to the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam on the Dnipro River on 6 June 2023. Through this webinar, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the vulnerabilities of water resources and infrastructure in armed conflicts and the importance of protecting these vital assets to ensure sustainable development and societal well-being.

Speaker: Prof. Valeriia Ovcharuk, DSc (Geography), Director of OSENU Hydrometeorological Institute
