Live scenario running — try “Grid strike”, then watch the pump and town
Inhulets–Pivdenne main · indicative
Dnipro–Kryvyi Rih canal · dry (surveyed)
You're about to explore an interactive digital twin of the water system supplying Kryvyi Rih, central Ukraine — a live, simulated mirror of real infrastructure. A twin lets operators and planners see how one disruption ripples through the whole network, and test interventions before committing concrete — decisive when rebuilding under wartime conditions.
Background. Kryvyi Rih draws on two sources. Locally, the Inhulets River feeds the Karachunivske Reservoir. Regionally, the Dnipro River's Kakhovka Reservoir fed the Dnipro–Kryvyi Rih Canal, lifting water northwest to the Pivdenne (Southern) Reservoir. The Kakhovka Hydropower Plant (335 MW), at the reservoir's southern dam, also powered the regional grid via the Kakhovska substation (serving the Kherson/Zaporizhzhia/Kryvyi Rih region). On 6 June 2023, Russian forces destroyed the dam — the reservoir drained, the canal went dry, and the city switched to pumping Inhulets water uphill.
This twin includes the river intake, sediment management unit, pumping stations, solar-and-battery backup, treatment and wastewater plants, quality sensors, leak detection, SCADA, and the destroyed hydropower plant.
Try an incident — Turbidity spike, Pipe burst, or Grid strike — and watch how the twin predicts and explains the way each failure unfolds.
