The Bavarian State Environment Agency's flood control center shares that the situation on the Danube remains critical. The water levels between Donauwörth and Passau are stated to be higher than the warning level four, posing a threat of flooding in populated areas. The peaks of flood are prolonged, and the water is moving slowly in various spots. Reports from the agency also indicate a decrease in water levels on the Danube's tributaries, like the Isar.
