Following floods, over 15 cases of subsidence across Moravia

Following the recent floods in Moravia, the crisis response team has observed more than 15 cases of subsidence in the south Moravian Zlín region. In the town of Lidečko, a drinking-water pipeline that supplies tens of thousands of households in the area could be put out of service due to subsidence. The governor of the region said on Wednesday that several towns will remain in a state of emergency until the end of the month. In 1997, floods devastated the Moravian town of Troubky. Damages caused by this year’s floods are estimated to reach a billion-crown figure.
