The data can also be checked on the public IMGW portal https://hydro.imgw.pl/ (not asup-to-date as CZK receives ) or here: https://www.wroclaw.pl/dla-mieszkanca/stan-rzek-wroclaw-poziom-wody-na-odrze-imgw-olawa-bystrzyca-sleza-widawa
As the forecasts for the Oder are lower than previously forecast, the bypass for the Oder to Widawa will probably not be opened.
The opinion of the expert
The situation is dynamic therefore, it is hard to determine the water level. Oder is a system of interconnected vessels and the water is continuously monitored in water level measurement stations of the Meteorology and Water Management Institute. Before the wave comes to Wroclaw, it will come through flood-prone areas, where it can reduce its energy and decrease the height of the wave. The flattening and prolongation of the wave is our main target. We do not want the water to be cumulated in short but high peaks.
