Drought affects Orlik Reservoir A man looks at the exposed shoreline of the Orlik Reservoir, the largest reservoir on the Vltava River, due to falling water levels, near the village of Podolsko, Czech Republic, 19 August 2026. Due to exceptionally intense and prolonged drought and very low inflows across the Vltava River basin, water levels at the Orlik Reservoir, part of the Vltava River cascade, are falling significantly. This year's boating season on Orlik is therefore ending several weeks earlier, and the Vltava River Basin Authority is helping boat owners remove their boats from the water using a mobile crane. 바다이야기 5만원 If the drought continues, the storage capacity of the nearby Slapy Reservoir will also have to be used, which would lead to a gradual decline in its water level.
