Temporary bottom thresholds are used to retain rainwater in the area of the Central Danube Valley Water Directorate

The Central Danube Valley Water Directorate has constructed temporary bottom thresholds at around twenty locations to retain rainwater. Significant rainfall, nearly 20 mm, is expected in the region. The Directorate has been designating suitable areas for water retention across its 8,400 square kilometer operational area. They are also monitoring existing barriers and installing temporary water-retaining thresholds in various streams and channels. A cyclone named Charles has brought heavy rainfall, particularly in southern Hungary, with over 35 mm recorded near Szeged. A first-level weather warning has been issued for five southern counties due to expected rainfall exceeding 20 mm within 24 hours.
