The water level in the Yenisei River rose sharply by 35 cm.

The water level in the Yenisei River has risen sharply by 35 cm over the past day. Taking into account the hydrological situation and the upcoming celebration of Victory Day, the high-alert regime was extended at drinking water supply facilities until May 15, according to KrasKom.

During this period, laboratory technicians at the Gremyachy Log water intake will take samples of river water for turbidity 24 times a day to promptly adjust the operation of the filtration station. This is necessary to ensure the safety of drinking water in the spring flood.

In the area of the water intake post on the island of Rest, the water level is 175 cm, which is necessary to ensure a navigable level and prepare for the opening of navigation, writes KrasnoyarskMedia news agency.

Starting from April 23, the Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power station has a water discharge rate of 2,870 cubic meters/s. The inflow of meltwater and rainwater into the Krasnoyarsk reservoir is more than 6 thousand cubic meters/s.

Earlier in April, it was reported that 63 ice crossings had been closed in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, and five more were still operating. There are also nine ferry crossings in the region.
