Abstract

The article aims to analyse the impact of military operations on the hydro-ecological state of water bodies in Ukraine, analyse potential military risks and assess the prospects for recovery in the water sector. The war leads to the destruction of water supply infrastructure and, secondly, to the pollution of natural waters with sewage and ammunition. Thus, Ukraine's hydro-ecological condition of natural watercourses and reservoirs is deteriorating during a full-scale war. First, we analysed the literature and modern scientific publications and studied the current state of the water bodies of Ukraine under martial law. The article analyses the key consequences of military operations on water bodies, including the destruction of water infrastructure and hydraulic structures, contamination by explosives and destroyed military equipment, flooding by mine water, and leaks from tailing ponds. Special attention is paid to the results of water quality monitoring in wartime. The authors systematised and reviewed the key incidents of destruction and damage to hydraulic structures since the beginning of the war. Potential risks to water bodies in the context of Russian aggression are studied. Finally, the author analyses the directions of the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine and proposes a list of practical steps necessary to restore water resources. The author's view on post-war reconstruction measures in water resources is offered. In addition, environmental organisations and local authorities can use the results of this scientific research.

军事行动影响下乌克兰水体的水文生态状况

本文旨在分析军事行动对乌克兰水体水文生态状况的影响，分析潜在的军事风险，并评估水部门的恢复前景。战争导致供水基础设施遭到破坏，其次，污水和弹药污染了自然水域。因此，乌克兰天然水道和水库的水文生态条件在全面战争期间正在恶化。首先，我们分析了文献和现代科学出版物，并研究了戒严令下乌克兰水体的现状。文章分析了军事行动对水体的主要后果，包括水利基础设施和水工设施的破坏、炸药和被毁军事装备的污染、矿井水的泛滥和尾矿库的泄漏。战时水质监测结果受到特别关注。作者系统地回顾了自战争开始以来水工结构破坏的关键事件。研究了俄罗斯侵略背景下水体的潜在风险。最后，作者分析了乌克兰战后重建的方向，并提出了恢复水资源所需的一系列实际步骤。对战后水资源重建措施提出了自己的看法。此外，环保组织和地方当局可以使用这项科学研究的结果。
