I agree with most of your post. With one exception.You have provided no evidence whatsoever that supports your opinions nor your theory of water level changes in the rivers that meet at Kazan.
The fact that the level of the river has risen significantly, I knew before. But didn't you yourself post photos in this thread that indicate that a significant part of Kazan was flooded?
Or do you think that the flooding of such a large part of the territory will not affect the level of the river in any way?
Since you think (you yourself posted a photo with the old Volga bed) that the flooding of the territories does not lead to a rise in the water level, I will post the relevant photos here.
I will say more, they flooded the river for a reason.
In connection with the industrial growth under Stalin, it was necessary to provide industrial and populated areas with water, which was done by expanding the riverbeds and creating a chain of reservoirs.
Now in Russia there are practically no personnel left who are engaged in the regulation of the river water balance (and in other industries too, except for the extraction of resources and banking services), and industrial and human needs have not decreased, but only increased.
Therefore, we are now observing a process when the inland rivers across Russia are becoming shallow everywhere. So soon, perhaps, we will see a drop in the level of a number of rivers.
