The Great Meadow or Grand Meadow (Ukrainian: Великий луг, romanized: Velykyi luh) is a lowland area on the Dnieper and the Konka to the south of Khortytsia Island that historically consisted of a system of rivers, reed beds, swamps, flooded forests, and meadows. The Great Meadow ceased to exist in 1950s, when it was flooded by the Kakhovka Reservoir, and re-emerged in 2023 upon the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[1]
