Floods in Poland. Jacek Sutryk: The decision was made to flood the areas with water
Earlier, Sutryk reported that Polish Waters – due to the high water level in the Oder – decided to flood the Oławka polder and water-bearing areas in a controlled manner. The mayor of Wrocław stressed that “this procedure is consistent with the flood protection instructions for Wrocław”. “The area where the water is spilling is specially prepared for such situations, and the flooding of the polder serves to protect residents from flooding,” he added. “Due to the work of the Oławka polder, Starodworska Street has been closed,” Sutryk said.
