While the focus is rightly on the flooding downstream of the Kakhovka Dam, the long-term damage to Southern Ukraine's huge agricultural sector is particularly worrying.
These farms and people rely on 4 canals that flow from the (soon to be former) Kakhovskyi Reservoir. A short🧵 I am not an expert and I don't know at what depth the pumps that feed these canals operate, but the dam was built specifically to feed these canals. Here's a soviet commemorative stamp celebrating the achievement. You can see the South Ukraine and North Crimean canals on the map.
