Results of mathematical modeling of water flow velocity in the lower Dnieper section floodplain lakes after the destruction of the Kakhovska HEPS

Abstract

The military conflict, which began at the end of February 2022 in the territory of the Kherson region, and continues to this day, made it virtually impossible to carry out field studies of water ecosystems and natural landscapes in the region. The front line and territories under the control of the enemy army cut off the opportunity to study a large part of the region, which makes it impossible to obtain a complete picture of the distribution of individual indicators on the entire studied object. Because of this, methods of mathematical modeling of individual natural processes are becoming more and more popular among researchers, which can serve as a source that complements the lack of actual field studies in certain areas of the general object under study.
