The Elbe is no longer flooding. The values at the gauges in Schöna, Dresden, Riesa and Torgau are now below alarm level 1. In Schöna, 3.86 meters were measured this morning – after a high of 6.63 meters last week. In Dresden, the water level fell from 4.34 on Sunday morning to 3.53 meters within 24 hours. Consequently, the all-clear has also been given for the gauges in Riesa (4.55 meters) and Torgau (4.72 meters). According to the state capital Dresden, a rise in the water is not expected again. However, the banks that have been under water in recent days must now be cleaned up.
