The hydrological situation in the Lviv region remains tense due to rising water levels.
According to the hydrometeorological network, precipitation in the Lviv region ranged from 1 to 12 mm, and in some places up to 22 mm, particularly in the city of Kamianka-Buzka. Over the past day, water levels continued to rise in most of the region’s rivers: in the Dniester basin rivers by 3 – 23 cm, in some places up to 26 cm, and in the Western Bug basin and in the upper reaches of the Styr rivers by 1 – 10 cm.
In the rest of the region’s rivers, a decrease in water levels of 2 – 20 cm per day was noted. At the hydrological post of the Stryi River in the city of Stryi (Dniester basin), the maximum water level Hmax = 224 cm was recorded on July 18 at 20:00. In the area of the hydrological posts of the Western Bug River in the city of Kamianka-Buzka, the Poltva River in the city of Busk, and the Solokiia River in the city of Sheptytskyi, water remained on the floodplain with a layer of 90 and 17 cm, respectively.
The next day, a decrease in water levels is expected on the mountain tributaries of the Dniester. In the lower reaches of the Stryi, Svicha, and Dniester rivers in the Rozdil – Zhuravno section, a minor flood wave with water level rises of 0.1 – 0.5 m above current levels is anticipated. In most of the Western Bug basin rivers and in the upper reaches of the Styr rivers, a gradual increase in water levels with a daily intensity of 1 – 10 cm per day will continue. Only in some tributaries of the San and Western Bug basins will a decrease in water levels prevail. In the area of the hydrological posts of the Western Bug River in the city of Kamianka-Buzka, the Poltva River in the city of Busk, and the Solokiia River in the city of Sheptytskyi, water will remain on the floodplains.
