rising by one to 1.5cm per hour, which is in accordance with
experts' estimates. #L#
The water level is expected to rise up to 650cm at the most, which
would still not be sufficient for the river to flood Vukovar. The
town is protected by a dam sufficient to protect the town from
floods should the water level rise to eight metres.
Regular flood protection measures are in effect at the section of
the river in Vukovar, while emergency measures will be proclaimed
if the water level rises to 630cm.
It is expected that the Danube could reach the level of 630cm on
Friday morning.
