Due to the hydrological situation on the Bóbr and Kwisa rivers, the Żagań district governor announced a flood alert in the following municipalities: Szprotawa, Małomice and in the city and municipality of Żagań. In turn, the Żary district governor, due to the exceeding of warning levels on the Nysa Łużycka, introduced a flood alert in the following municipalities: Przewóz, Trzebiel, Łęknica and Brody.

The Lubuskie Education Superintendent announced the cancellation of classes on Monday in 23 kindergartens, schools and other educational facilities in Żagań and its district, the city and commune of Szprotawa and the commune of Małomice.

Local government authorities of Lubuskie cities and municipalities located on the river are preparing for the passage of a flood wave through the middle section of the Oder. Currently, the situation on the Oder does not pose a threat, but a flood wave from the south of the country will soon begin to reach Lubuskie Province.

The IMGW Hydrological Forecasts Office in Wrocław issued on Monday 3rd degree hydrological warnings against river floods exceeding alarm levels, including in the Lubuskie province. One of the alerts is valid until 11:00 on Wednesday (18 September) and concerns the following rivers: Bystrzyca, Bóbr, Kwisa below the Leśna reservoir and Nysa Łużycka below Zgorzelec. The second is valid until 11:00 on Friday (20 September) and concerns Barycz.

On Monday, the Hydrological Forecasts Office in Wrocław also issued a third-degree warning regarding flooding exceeding alarm levels in the Odra area from the mouth of the Barycz to the mouth of the Bóbr and from the mouth of the Bóbr to Słubice.

This alert is valid from 11 a.m. on Tuesday (September 17) to 11 a.m. on Monday (September 23). According to it, during this time water levels on the Central Odra will tend to rise in the high water zone, initially exceeding warning levels, and then alarm levels.

4. Exceeding the alarm level in three places on the Bóbr and Kwisa rivers (Update from 10:55)

In the Lubuskie province, alarm levels exceeded on Monday morning were recorded on the Bóbr in Szprotawa and Żagań. In Łozy, the alarm level was slightly exceeded by the Kwisa. There are currently no floods – Sławomir Pawlak, director of the Lubuskie Voivode’s Office, informed PAP.

The Bóbr and Kwisa are mountain rivers with a steep gradient. The Kwisa is a left tributary of the Bóbr, which flows into the Oder near Krosno Odrzańskie. The increases in their levels result from the runoff of rainwater into them.

On Monday morning, the alarm level on the Bóbr was exceeded in Szprotawa by 41 cm and in Żagań by 42 cm. On the Kwisa in Łozy, the alarm level was exceeded by a centimeter, Pawlak informed.

He added that the warning level (136 cm) had been reached on Czerna Wielka in Żagań, and the warning level on Nysa Łużycka in Przewóz had been exceeded by 8 cm on Monday morning. It was 52 cm short of the alarm level.

Due to the rising water level in the Bóbr, the mayors of the communes of Szprotawa and Małomice have introduced a flood alert, and in Żagań a flood emergency. In the commune of Szprotawa and Żagań, classes in local government educational institutions were suspended on Monday.

“It is difficult to determine what the real flood threat is in our region, because it all depends on the situation in Lower Silesia,” Pawlak told PAP.

He added that forecasts indicate that during the flood wave on the Odra in its Lubuskie section, the water level should remain between the warning and alarm levels. Other large rivers in the region – the Warta and Noteć – do not pose a threat at present.

The IMWM Hydrological Forecasts Office in Wrocław issued third-degree hydrological warnings on Monday against river floods exceeding alarm levels also in the Lubuskie Voivodeship.

One of the alerts is valid until 11:00 on Wednesday (18 September) and concerns the following rivers: Bystrzyca, Bóbr, Kwisa below the Leśna reservoir and Nysa Łużycka below Zgorzelec. The second is valid until 11:00 on Friday (20 September) and concerns the Barycz river.

The Provincial Crisis Management Centre in Gorzów Wlkp. monitors the situation on rivers and water reservoirs in the region. It is in constant contact with the district crisis management centres, services and neighbouring provinces.
