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.
