In August, water level fluctuations were noted on the rivers of the country. The minimum water levels in certain sections of the rivers of the Dnieper, Sozh and Pripyat basins approached the multiyear minimums for August, and on the Lan River near the village of Mokrovo (a tributary of the Pripyat) the value of the minimum water level dropped below the historical minimum for this time of year.

The water content of the Neman and Viliya was close to the usual for this time of year, the water content of the Dnieper, Berezina and Sozh was 30-40% less than the norm, and the water content of the Western Dvina, Western Bug and Pripyat was 50-60% less than the norm.
