In Ukraine the Dnieper flows through a highly productive agricultural region known especially for wheat and other grains. Large industrial complexes, particularly at Kiev, Dnepropetrovsk, and Zaporozhye, also lie along the river. Much of the industrial development along the river has been due to the presence of iron ore in the nearby Krivoy Rog basin and of coal in the nearby Donets Basin. Also important has been the availability of river transportation and abundant hydroelectric power.

Virtually the entire length of the river is navigable. Canals and canalized rivers connect the Dnieper with Poland and the Baltic Sea, and with other parts of eastern Europe.

The water reservoirs of the Dnieper River in Ukraine pose a significant threat of a large-scale human-made disaster if their dams fail. Such a threat is typical for reservoir dams; however, the Dnieper reservoirs are especially dangerous because of the geographical conditions, as well as the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster and other nuclear-related environmental threats in the region.

While the safety studies of each dam are regularly performed and the public assurances about individual dam's condition were given multiple times, the comprehensive analysis of the overall safety of the dams as a system or the impeding dangers that the damaged dam would cause has never been performed to this day. Various different scenarios of what would happen in case of the dam damage predict the catastrophes varying only by the scale (provided that one of the dams would indeed break down). According to the worst predictions and taking into account the already available radioactive contamination, a dam accident may result in a major threat for significant territories of Ukraine, and, possibly, the Black Sea basin.
