The level of the river Danube in the Bulgarian stretch has started dropping, with a considerable drop in the western sector Tuesday.
This news comes after weeks of alarm over the level of the river and after Romanian authorities announced extreme flooding alert Monday in eastern Romanian Danube towns of Fete?ti, Br?ila and Galati.
The only rise in the Bulgarian stretch was marked Tuesday at Silistra, where the level rose to 799 cm, where 800 cm warrant the issuing of a flood danger warning.
A drop of 3 cm was recorded at largest Bulgarian Danube city of Russe. Bigger subsiding was recorded at upstream Bulgarian stations. A drop of around 25 cm was recorded for western town of Vidin.
