The destruction of the Kakhovka dam and the flooding along the Dnipro River has done great damage to the water and wastewater infrastructure as images provided by our partners from Kherson show. Damage is worsening by the hour and increases the stress on the already strained population of Kherson region in Ukraine. Water supply and wastewater utilities in the region now urgently need wastewater pumps and other technical equipment.
 
The German Utility Platform stands with the affected utilities and the people they serve and calls upon the Water Sector for support:
