The National Coalition for Combating Drought will meet on Monday to assess the hydrological situation, including measures taken so far and further steps to address the ongoing extreme drought. Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) will join experts at the meeting.
Babiš called the meeting a day after reports that the Husinec reservoir in South Bohemia had become the first Czech dam to dry up. On Tuesday, the South Bohemian Region declared a drought emergency across the region, allowing it greater flexibility in managing water releases from reservoirs.
Water shortages have also been declared on the Vltava and Elbe rivers in Central Bohemia.
However, all reservoirs supplying drinking water remain sufficiently full, with no threat to supplies, Petr Kubala, head of the Vltava River Basin Authority, told the Czech News Agency.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš says US President Donald Trump’s deal to import diesel from Russia is a major slap in the face for Europe. Mr. Babiš told reporters on Saturday evening that he regarded the agreement as shocking in view of the fact that Trump had long criticised Europe for buying the commodity from Russia.
The Czech PM said if Europe did not realise it needs to take action in response to this move the matter would end badly and that he was interested to see what positions other European leaders would take. An EU summit is set to take place next Thursday and Friday.
