In the North Kazakhstan region, water levels in small rivers are decreasing, and there is no longer a threat from them. The situation on the Esil River remains stable, Qazinform News Agency reports.

Downstream of the village of Pokrovka, however, water levels continue to rise: by 82 cm near Pokrovka and 69 cm near Novonikolskoye. Nevertheless, these changes do not pose a risk of the river overflowing its banks.
