In the center of Kiev was suddenly in the lake
A pond with reeds, wild ducks and even swans appeared over the fence of the construction site on the street Antonovich in the centre of the capital. There 6 years ago was supposed to be a 30-storey building with a Mall, apartments and offices, but the developer did not realize that under the earth flows the river Lybid, according to a story TSN.19:30.
Lake people has been called “the Pit.” It occupies 4 hectares of land 100 metres long. Water depth of 6 meters. “Starting with Kievan Rus this area belonged to the floodplain of the river Lybid. It did not build anything. Each spring during high water it was flooded. There were swamps, unsuitable for construction area”, says the researcher of the Kiev Cyril rivers Stepanets.
