Flooding Alerts in Krasnoyarsk Krai
Spring Flooding Swamps Krasnoyarsk Territory
It's high tide in Krasnoyarsk Krai, with rivers swelling and causing a chaos! Several regions, including Alexandrovsky Shlyuz, Boguchansky, and Kuraginsky, are currently facing the brunt of this deluge.
For instance, in Alexandrovsky Shlyuz, four private plots are submerged under water. Fortunately, residential homes remain dry. In Boguchansky, an overflow is persisting on a regional road segment, leading to Beodba. Spanning 150 meters with a depth of 20 centimeters, it's causing a minor nuisance.
The Kuraginsky district seems to be on the edge, with a potential flood threat looming over a residential plot in Kuragino and the Kuragino-Cherevishanka road. Moreover, a 40-50 centimeter increase in water level is expected on the R-01 road between Kuragino and Cherevishanka, making it a bumpy ride for cars and buses. Only high-clearance vehicles can proceed.
The rivers Tuva, its tributaries like Kižir, Kazyr, and Amyl, are threatening their maximum spring flood levels. In Kuragino, the water level in the Tuva river has reached 932 centimeters, with the danger mark set at 1040 centimeters. Water levels are projected to rise further.
In the coming days, rivers are forecasted to continue rising, potentially flooding roads, gardens, and low-lying areas. There's even a chance of water spilling onto fields.

Note:
Satellite imagery and weather data can provide valuable insights into flooding risks. However, they are not foolproof and may not always capture localized flooding. It's essential to cross-reference information from multiple sources and verify data regularly.
