The Moselle entered yellow flood alert level on Monday at 4 p.m. The alert is valid until this Tuesday at 4 p.m. “Water levels on the Moselle did not increase as much as expected overnight and are currently reaching their maximum level,” specifies the Water Management Administration. In Stadtbredimus, water levels are currently stagnant at around 520 cm and are therefore below the reporting height of 530 cm. Water levels will drop again afterwards.”
Due to the forecast precipitation, however, a further rise in water levels on the Moselle can be expected in the coming days, the authorities add.
