A network of reinforced levees and designated floodplains (polders) that can be intentionally flooded to reduce pressure on urban infrastructure. Emergency Procedures
The city issues "warning levels" followed by "alarm levels" as water heights cross specific thresholds. A network of reinforced levees and designated floodplains
A occurs when heavy or prolonged rainfall (often combined with snowmelt) in the upper reaches of the Odra and its tributaries (such as the Nysa Kłodzka) causes water levels to rise rapidly. As this volume of water moves downstream, it forms a "wave" that eventually reaches Wrocław. The Wrocław Water Node (WWN) As this volume of water moves downstream, it
A massive dry polder upstream designed to "shave" the peak of the flood wave before it reaches the city. The water level at Trestno reached 724 cm
A massive wave arrived, but thanks to better coordination and sandbagging, the city remained largely dry despite levels reaching 650 cm .
The water level at Trestno reached 724 cm , causing widespread devastation.
