Updates on the Ice Break-Up on the Ob River in Tomsk

Hey there! Let's talk about the ice break-up on the Ob River in Tomsk, shall we?

On April 23rd, anestimated 50-kilometer stretch of the river was ice-free, with the head of the ice jam moving towards the village of Tymsk, as reported by the Press Service of the regional administration.

Previously, it was reported that the ice break-up on the Ob River in Tomsk Oblast started on April 5th. On April 22nd, the ice break-up had already begun in the village of Kazalcevo, Karagasoksky district.

As of this morning, the head of the ice jam on the Ob River was in the populated area of Kazalcevo, but it has now moved to the village of Tymsk, Karagasoksky district, advancing 50 kilometers. In the Alexander district, the ice is gradually darkening. Road flooding in the region continues. According to comments by Head of the Department for the Protection of the Population and Territory, Sergey Lukin, "This morning, the head of the ice jam on the Ob River was in the village of Kazalcevo, but it has now moved to the village of Tymsk, Karagasoksky district, advancing 50 kilometers. In the Alexander district, the ice is gradually darkening. Road flooding is still present."

According to the Press Service, on April 22nd, due to the flood waters and tributaries of the Ob River, eight sections of roads were flooded in the Teguldetsky, Chayinsky, Verkhneketsky, Krivoshinsky, Kolpashevsky, and Pervomaisky districts. Particularly, the movement of vehicles was restricted at the entrance to the crossing of the road from Tomsk to Karagala to Kolpashevo. The highest number of flooded sections (four) were in the Teguldetsky district.

On the other hand, the regional press service warned on April 24th that from April 24th to 28th, the water level on the Baikhar River in the village of Gorelovka (Chayinsk district) is expected to rise to levels between 1080 and 1140 centimeters, which are above-danger level.

However, I couldn't find specific information about the expected water level peak on the Baikhar River in the Chainsky district, Tomsk region. For accurate and up-to-date information regarding water levels in the Baikhar River, you may need to check with local hydrological services or Russian water monitoring systems. Keep it flowing!

The Head of the Department for the Protection of the Population and Territory, Sergey Lukin, announced on April 24th that the water level on the Baikhar River in the village of Gorelovka (Chayinsk district) is expected to rise to levels between 1080 and 1140 centimeters, exceeding the danger level.

The regional press service reported earlier that from April 24th to 28th, the water level on the Baikhar River in the village of Gorelovka will be stronger than usual.

Such rising water levels can potentially impact the environmental-science sector, specifically the weather and climate conditions, as the river flows into the Ob River.

In the April 24th update, there was no information provided about the expected peak water level in the Baikhar River of the Chainsky district, Tomsk region. For precise and current data concerning water levels in the Baikhar River, it is advised to contact local hydrological services or Russian water monitoring systems.
