Water levels in rivers are close to typical winter levels

The water levels in rivers continue declining in the wintry weather, and they are already close to the typical February levels in many places. Flow regulation is reduced in Rivers Kokemäenjoki and Kymijoki during the freezing period, promoting the formation of ice decks that protect against frazil ice. The cold weather will continue until next week, so no major changes are expected in the water levels of rivers.
