Radio Poland's Marcin Matuszewski has the details in his audio report - available in our player (red button, above and on the left).
The hydrological drought extends beyond the Vistula, with more than 1/3 of 600 hydrological stations across Poland reporting drought conditions.
An alarming 70% of rivers in the country were experiencing low-water levels in recent days, a direct result of the ongoing heatwaves.
