PolandThe lake in Pilchowice has been drained to allow Tauron to repair the dam. The final stage of draining coincided with a heatwave, leading to thousands of fish dying due to lack of oxygen. Fishermen described the scene as macabre, noting that only small fish managed to survive through the dam's grates. The lake, which was first emptied in 1977, revealed old cars, ammunition, and weapons on the bottom. Tauron had planned to drain the lake until late June, but the extreme heat exacerbated the situation. The water is expected to return to the lake in 2028.
