Alexey Gunya: Dagestan is facing a new climate reality

The Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences has linked regular flooding in Dagestan to a combination of natural processes and anthropogenic impacts, which exacerbate the scale of natural disasters. In particular, development on river floodplains, deforestation, and the disregard for water protection zones "literally multiply the consequences" of flooding, which under other conditions might have been relatively calm, noted Doctor of Geographical Sciences Alexey Gunya.

Dagestani analysts interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" also named ill-considered development, natural factors, and the deplorable state of hydraulic structures among the causes of the devastating flooding. At the same time, they unanimously considered the volunteers' contribution to the fight against the consequences of the flood to be significant.

The Caucasian Knot compiled materials about flooding in the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District in the spring of 2026 on the thematic page "Flooding in the North Caucasus".
