Water breached a mound in a village in southern Omsk region
On Monday, March 31, 2025, Evgeniy Zhuravlev, head of Odesky Municipal Raion in southeastern Omsk Oblast, announced the first spring flood in the village of Bunyakovka.
A small levee breach led to the flood, despite preparatory work starting in the autumn of 2024 that included building a dike. Zhuravlev shared on his VKontakte page that he had rushed to the scene, coordinating heavy machinery operations to fix the breach, widen the outlet, and lower the water level, eliminating the threat to homes.
He also inspected the nearby villages of Gannovka and Bлагодаровка, with snow still present but rapidly melting. He expected the water volume from those areas to increase over the next few days, preparing the region accordingly while continuously monitoring the situation round the clock.
Zhuravlev can be seen in a video standing next to the dike, with flooded fields and water streams in the background.
