“Today, we have mentioned another unfortunate record about the low water level in the Wistula River in Warsaw – it is currently at 9 cm (3.5 in),” said Daryas Vitkowski, a hydrologist at the National Institute of Meteorological and Water Management.
The latest record is a result of rainfall below the criteria in August, this year the temperature above the average between autumn 2024 and spring and no snow during the last winter, Vitkovski said.
Long droughts have been promoted by a dry heat. Most of the country’s temperatures were hot compared to long-term climate norms recorded from 1991-2020, especially in the southwest, the data of the Weather Institute Show.
The shifting weather pattern brought the cooler season in August, but the rain level has not corrected, data shows. Most stations across the country are recording much less rainfall than averaged for a long time, with Cosannes in East Poland about 6% of the average of normal rainfall.
“All this contributed to the record low water levels, which is a dangerous and dangerous situation.”
Due to the low water level, Warsaw has suspended most of its river ghats – one of the city’s summer tourism attractions. According to Vitcovski, the use of water may also require some limitations when the condition deteriorates.
The meteorological institute across the country said that its comments indicate that about 300 of its 700 river measuring stations are hazards of hydrological drought. Witcovsky said that low water levels can have a knock-on effect for the country’s crop and can increase food prices.
In Western Poland, a farmer from the Wilkopolska region mieczyslaw luczak, who runs a seed farm and also represents the local agricultural industry, dug his own water reservoir four years ago to dug up for water, to supply himself for water.
“In agriculture, we are currently facing a lot of production costs, as fertilizers, plants’ safety products, labor and fuel prices are already very high,” Luczak said. “At the top of all this, the recurring drought. For harvesting of crops, you need to invest a certain amount. And when there is no water, the income is minimal.”
