#Syria: the Euphrates Dam, the country's largest reservoir, has reached water levels not seen since 1988. It is now at 97% of its capacity, after receiving 3 billion of m³ in recent weeks, thanks to the unusually heavy rainy season in Syria and Turkey. As a precautionary measure, water releases are being carried out & will reach ~800 m³ per second, which will raise the level of the Euphrates to heights unseen in decades. Authorities warned people days in advance not to swim or go too close to the river banks.

#Syria: Energy minister announced that procedures have begun to reduce water discharge into the Euphrates by 100 m³/s - bringing the flow down to 1,700 m³/s. This will halt the rising water levels of the river after reaching unprecedented levels in decades. Further reductions are expected in the coming days, as incoming water flows from Turkey are set to decrease. Video shows people moving along #DeirEzzor corniche in fishing boats.

#Syria: the Euphrates Dam opened a 3rd valve last night to discharge excess water, with the flow reaching 1,500 m³ per second for the first time in decades.

This follows a chain reaction of water releases in Turkey, sending millions of m³ of water (upstream) into the Euphrates and flooding areas in Aleppo province.
