Summary
Description Spring Ice Breakup on Dnieper River, Ukraine.jpg |
English:
The Kyiv (or
Kiev
) Reservoir lies along the Dnieper River, some 16 kilometres north of the
Ukrainian
capital. The reservoir’s surface is a combination of
ice
-covered and ice-free areas, the largest open-
water
area occurring just a few kilometres north of the reservoir’s southern tip. Around the reservoir lies a combination of
grassy
,
forested
,
agricultural
, and urbanized lands.
Roads
and corridors of
greenery
line the eastern side of the reservoir, and residential areas hug the shore on the western side. The natural landscape in this region is generally
marshy
and well watered. Although
snow
has mostly melted, much of the vegetation remains
brown
in this early
springtime
image.
