Slovakia's Ministry of Interior continues to record several emergency situations related to drought. In Banská Štiavnica, an emergency situation remains in effect due to a shortage of drinking water, persistent dry weather, and lack of rainfall. teraz.sk ↗

The problems are also evident in the fact that wells have dried up in a popular Slovak town. The Interior Ministry states that emergency situations linked to drought are not just a current phenomenon. Several were declared in previous years and have still not been revoked. kultura.pravda.sk ↗

Among the municipalities where such situations were declared and continue to persist are Jasenica, Kvakovce, Bžany, and Holčíkovce. The reason is a long-term water shortage related to persistent drought and scarce rainfall.

Drought thus remains a problem affecting several parts of Slovakia and requires continued monitoring by both local authorities and state institutions. Further developments will depend mainly on the weather and on whether rainfall in the affected areas is restored to a sufficient extent.
