At 9:00 p.m., an exceptionally intensive water release began from the Pilchowice Reservoir, reaching as much as 100 m³/s. This is more than three times the previous outflow, which was only 30 m³/s. Although the reservoir’s fill level at 2:00 p.m. was only 19.337 million m³ (with a maximum capacity of 55 million m³), the inflow into the reservoir continues to rise.
The Bóbr River, on which the reservoir is located, may soon exceed the warning level of 100 cm; its level is 74 cm with a flow rate of 30 m³/s (2:00 p.m.). Residents of nearby areas must be prepared for dynamic changes, especially since the alarm level for this river is 140 cm.
Is a local flood threatening us? Intensive preparations are underway just in case.
