High Water () is a Polish historical drama TV series created by Jan Holoubek and based on Kasper Bajon's work. It was released on Netflix on 5 October 2022. The series is about the 1997 Central European flood specifically about the incidents in Wrocà Âaw (1997 Central European flood in Wrocà Âaw).
The series takes place in 1997 in Wrocà Âaw, when the 1997 Central European flood is nearing the city. The main character is the hydrologist Jaà Âmina Tremer, who returns to Wrocà Âaw after many years to help handle the crisis. During the series, the characters have to face not only the incompetence of the local authorities, but also their own past.
Apart from Wrocà Âaw, the names of the towns and villages are fictitious, e.g. KÃÂty is actually à Âany, while Gierà ¼oniów is Nysa, situated on Nyskie Lake, where the regatta was actually held at the time, which delayed the emptying of the reservoir located on the Eastern Neisse, which is a tributary of the Oder on which Wrocà Âaw lies.
