A high water wave passing through the Bulgarian section of the Danube has prompted the start of monitoring of dikes and coastal facilities. So far, there is no danger of flooding, the Danube Research Agency reported. At low places of the Bulgarian area - near Vidin and Lom, the river level is high. Near Lom the level is approaching 8 meters and is only half a meter below the critical for the river. The level in the upper part of the Bulgarian section is beginning to decline, while the level at Rousse and Silistra will be rising.
