The governor of the Kurgan region published a panoramic view of the flooded areas on April 16 on his Telegram channel.
“Railway bridge area in Kurgan. Yesterday morning it was dry here and many did not believe that water would come.”Shumkov wrote. He called on all those living in threatened areas to urgently evacuate.
“In the Ketovo area and in other settlements in the Ketovo district, the water level already reaches 10 meters. “This entire mass of water flows into Kurgan.”Shumkov described the situation.
Let us note that on April 16 in Kurgan the water level in Tobol exceeded 7.5 meters. Flood control measures in Kurgan have been strengthened since April 5, when it became known about increased water discharge into the Karatomar and Troitsky reservoirs. In Kurgan, the dam level was increased, the sale of alcohol was prohibited, and from April 14, civil defense sirens began to sound not only during the day, but also at night.
