Post Mersin Flood
Today was a fine, mild and sunny day, in contrast to yesterday's rain. The river level was much lower and the flood danger had passed.The local council placed large rocks on the riverbank to reinforce it and minimise further erosion.
Compare the river level of the photos below with those taken yesterday.
