According to the report from the Water Management Authority on Thursday morning, the Moselle is expected to continue rising. As of Wednesday evening, the water level in Stadtbredimus was reported at 5.30 meters. The Water Management Authority observes a calming trend in the weather along the Moselle, with most of the rainfall having already passed.
On Thursday morning at 10am, the Water Management Authority confirmed an increase in the flow rate at the Esch-sur-Sûre dam to release more water from the reservoir. This adjustment might result in a slight increase in the water level up to Erpeldingen, but with no significant impacts expected. Although the levels of the Sûre from Ingeldorf to Diekrich may not experience a substantial rise, they also will not recede as rapidly. The measure is not anticipated to have noticeable effects in the Rosport area.
As it stands, water levels in the Alzette and most of the rivers are currently falling. However, due to local showers, there is a possibility that there could be a slight rise again, especially in the Eisch and Atert rivers. The possibility of surpassing the alert level (cote d’alerte) in these areas cannot be dismissed.
The water levels of the Alzette, including around Hesperange and Pfaffental, are expected to persist above the pre-alert level (cote de préalerte) or within the range of the alert level (Mersch), and potentially even above the alert level (Ettelbruck) for some time. There is a possibility that these water levels may experience a slight increase.
Along the Sûre river in Diekirch, the water levels are anticipated to stay within the alert level. In Bollendorf, they are expected to be within the pre-alert level.
