In the Carpathians, an artificial lake has formed on one of the tributaries of the Bystryk River due to deforestation, flooding a large part of the adjacent valley. This was reported by Vasyl Fitsak, a rescuer of the State Emergency Service in Ivano-Frankivsk region, on his Facebook page, UNN reports.

"An artificial lake on one of the tributaries of the Bystryk River in Gorgany. Osmoloda. A few days ago, while walking in search of mushrooms, I came across this location," Fitsak said.

He clarified that the map shows Kamianysty waterfall.

"Felling was carried out here and the equipment blocked the stream, created a dam, and quite a large part of the valley was flooded," the rescuer wrote.
