Rivers still under high surveillance

After the exceptional floods that submerged several areas of northern Alsace on Friday, the water levels are receding, but several rivers remain under high surveillance, details the Vigicrues service this Sunday morning.

The Bas-Rhin remains under orange alert due to the level of the Eichel. In one of the communes hardest hit, Diemeringen, the tributary of the Saar reached a level of 3.40 m at the peak of the event on Friday night, and remained at 2.08 m this Sunday morning, compared to 0.67 m before the flood.

Zorn, Zinsel, and Moder, which also overflowed, are continuing to recede and are now under yellow alert.
