As a result, the water level in most reservoirs in the south-west of the country is falling again. Only on major rivers such as the Danube and Rhine, water levels are still rising in some places, the flood Prediction Center said on Monday evening. However, a critical level is no longer expected.
The highest level of warning is still in effect on almost the entire Bavarian section of the Danube. According to the flood prediction center, water is still rising from the Hundersingen drain in the Sigmaringen area downstream, as well as Lake Constance, the High Rhine and the Upper Rhine. However, on the southern tributaries of the Danube, only isolated cases of a slight rise in the water level were observed.
It is noted that at the Maksau water metering station on the Danube near Karlsruhe, the peak value, which on Sunday was 8.29 m, is unlikely to be exceeded.
