Water levels receding around Czechia

Water levels are receding on all of the country’s rivers with a lower-level flood alert remaining in only 15 places along the Vltava and the Elbe, according to information from the Czech Hydro-meteorological Institute. In Krumlov, the water level has risen due to the controlled outflow of water from the Lipno dam. Clean up operations are still underway in some parts of the country, where swollen rivers flooded gardens and cellars in a number of villages.
