Head of association: canoeists should take care in areas

Increased rainfall over the last several days has risen water levels on a number of rivers, making canoeing or rafting ideal in areas, but also reason for caution in others. The head of the Czech Canoe Association Vojtěch Jančar has told CTK that canoeists were recommended to proceed with care at sluices, such as one near the south Bohemian town of Bechyně on the Lužnice, where water is flowing at 60 cubic metres per second. He also pointed to a section of whitewater near Tábor requiring more experience and skill. The Sázava river has also seen an increase in water levels.
