Regional water situation

Kanta-Häme, Pirkanmaa and Pori region 26.9.

In the Kokemäenjoki river basin, the water levels of the rivers are mainly in normal readings or slightly higher than usual, and no significant changes are predicted for the next few days. Water levels of lakes are higher than usual, especially in the northern parts of the river basin, due to the rainfall in late summer and early autumn.

The water levels of the large, regulated lakes in Pirkanmaa are mainly at levels typical of the time period, but flows have been larger than usual in recent weeks. In the northern parts of the river basin, the water levels in lakes are higher than usual after rainy periods. Lake Keurusselkä’s water level is now about 70 cm, Pihlajavesi over 70 cm, Ähtärinjärvi about 25 cm and Parkanonjärvi about one metre above average. Their surfaces will remain close to the current levels the following week. The water levels of the lakes along the Längelmävesi and Hauho route are close to the average level of the season.

In the Karvianjoki river basin, the water levels of lakes and rivers have declined clearly from their flood peaks at the beginning of September and last week, but are still mainly higher than usual. No significant changes are forecast for the following week.
