Reservoirs in Moravia-Silesia remain full despite low rainfall

Reservoirs in the Moravia-Silesia region are currently filled to between 92 and 100 percent of their capacity, with the exception of Těrlicko, which stands at 81 percent. According to water management company spokesperson Šárka Vlčková, March was hydrologically below average, continuing the dry trend from February. Snow reserves have almost completely melted, leaving a zero water balance by the end of March. Nevertheless, efforts were made to retain as much rain and meltwater as possible for use in the summer months. Snow now remains only in the highest parts of the Jeseníky mountains, at about 30 centimetres, while the Beskydy have just patchy snow cover.
