High water levels in Oulujoki and Kainuu
Water levels of lakes in Oulujoki as well as in Kainuu and Koillismaa are high for the season after the rainy autumn. The water level of Lake Oulujärvi has been reduced by high flow regulation with a derogation to increase storage capacity before possible frost periods and ice formation processes in early winter. Even though flow regulation is gradually reduced, the discharges of the River Oulujoki are still heavy.
