This year is the first in 10 years, or perhaps even longer, when there has been so little water in the Kampinos marshes and elsewhere.
Currently, 0.35 m3 of water flows per second in Łasica, and the lowest spring flow recorded so far (the lowest, not the average or the highest!) was 1.1 m3, which is three times more than at present.
We will see what happens next, but for now, the year looks very difficult, and a continued lack of rainfall may have negative consequences not only for newts and fire-bellied toads, but also for other, more xerophilic organisms.
The data was collected by a team of hydrologists from the Warsaw University of Life Sciences as part of the ‘Kampinoskie Bagna 2’ project.
