CHRONICLES OF THIRST: DOCUMENTING MYKOLAIV'S WATER SECURITY CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS IN A WAR-AFFECTED CITY into the river, and the proximity of damaged collectors constantly fuels the level of organic pollution. Point number 3: Yacht Club microdistrict (46.977016, 31.960774). The legendary resting place of Mykolaiv residents has become one of the most interesting monitoring points. There is a unique mixing of waters here. The yacht club is the first to feel the consequences of rising water (as it was during the Kakhovka tragedy) and accumulates oil products and surface debris lingering in its cozy water area. Measurements here have shown how recreational areas are turning into environmental risk zones. Point No. 4: Namiv microdistrict (46.947273, 31.932793). The extreme point of urban monitoring before entering the open estuary. The Namiv area is a specific contact zone where fresh river waters directly interact with salty sea support. This determines the high dynamics of hydrochemical indicators and makes this location an indicator of the intensity of penetration of sea waters deep into the estuary. Here are the highest rates of chlorides and sulfates. This is the point of "maximum concentration" of all urban problems. Everything that the water "collected" in Vesnyany, on the Embankment and in the Yacht Club finally mixes here with the salts of the estuary, creating the very aggressive brine that Mykolaiv residents were forced to see in their homes (Fig. 2.3).
