3. The lower reaches of the Dnieper^[wp] to the city of Nova Kakhovka. The binational zone encompasses all oxbow lakes and river islands—with the exception of Malyi Potomkin Island, which is assigned to the city of Kherson—as well as the adjacent banks of the Dnieper River.
4. The Kakhovka dam^[wp] and hydroelectric power station^[wp].
5. The Kakhovka lock system.
6. The Kakhovka Reservoir to the city of Zaporizhzhia.
