water level stability

There is special attention to the fluctuations of the water level of the Elbe, which was around 3.99 meters on April 20, 2023 and fell up to 3.87 meters during the day. Despite this challenge, alarm level 1 remains, which indicates potential fluctuations through taxes from Czech dams.
