The hydrological situation on the rivers of Lviv region is changing due to weather conditions.

On most rivers of the Dniester basin, water levels continued to rise by 1 – 18 cm, only on the mountain tributaries of the Dniester was a drop in water levels noted by 1 – 17 cm, in some places up to 33 cm (HR R.Rybnik – village Maydan). On the flat rivers of the basins of the San, Western Bug and at the headwaters of the Styr rivers, slight fluctuations in water levels up to 8 cm per day with a predominance of rise were observed.
