ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「A disaster has been unfolding in slow motion ever since an explosion destroyed the dam at the Kakhovka Reservoir in Ukraine last week, emptying its waters and threatening livelihoods and crucial industries. In communities downriver, the water unleashed by the ruptured dam flooded homes and swept away property and livestock within hours of the explosion. For those living upstream, the reservoir has been dropping between three and four feet a day. Built 75 years ago, the Kakhovka Reservoir, the largest freshwater body in Ukraine, is the life and livelihood of communities across a huge region. Its water feeds everything from small homes to large industries, with gardens, vineyards, shipping businesses and steel plants all reliant on the reservoir. Now, all are under threat. The towns and villages that grew up around the reservoir face hardship, even extinction, endangering a critical pillar of Ukraine’s economy.
