On most rivers of the country, there is an increase in water levels with a daily intensity of 1-9 cm, a decrease in water levels is observed only on the Neman near Grodno, the Dnieper near Mogilev, Sozh near Slavgorod with an intensity of 4-31 cm per day.

In the near future, due to a decrease in air temperature, an effort of ice-forming processes will occur on the rivers, ice jams are possible on the separate sections of the rivers, which will cause sharp daily fluctuations in water levels.
