Alexandroupoli: Evros river remains above emergency water levels

According to the latest measurements, the level at Kipi was at 4.30 metres, exceeding the alert threshold (3.60 metres) and alarm levels (4.00 meters)

As the head of the Eastern Macedonia-Thrace Civil Protection Directorate Constantinos Chouvardas stated at ANA-MPA, the Evros river remains above emergency water levels, but the phenomenon is monitored by authorities and does not cause any concern.

He noted that even though water levels seemed to be receding, the authorities were not complacent, as the melting of snow in the mountains of Bulgaria and possible rainfall could cause an increased inflow of waters.
