Water levels have probably peaked in most places in Norway following days of flooding, but they will remain high in the large inland lakes for a few more days, the Norwegian Water and Energy Administration (NVE) said on Sunday.
Developments would ultimately depend on how much rain falls in the next few days, it said.
According to dpa, Norway’s Justice and Preparedness Minister Emilie Enger Mehl also said on Sunday during a visit to one of the flooded areas that it was not over yet. She said that when the water recedes, people will have to continue to cope with the destruction caused.
A severe storm caused flooding in many places in the south of Norway about a week ago. As a result, numerous rivers burst their banks, and landslides occurred in many places. Several towns and roads were under water, while thousands of instances of damage were reported. Several thousand people had to be evacuated.
