Officials warned the river would rise further.<br \/>\nThe flooding has struck Russia\u2019s Urals and the northern Kazakhstan worst, though waters are also rising southern parts of Western Siberia, the largest hydrocarbon basin in the world, and in some places near the Volga, Europe\u2019s biggest river.<br \/>\n[embedded content]<br \/>Water levels were also rising in Siberia\u2019s Tomsk, which sits on the Tom River, a tributary of the Ob, and in Kurgan, which straddles the Tobol river.<br \/>\nAfter the Ural burst through dam embankments in Orsk, upstream from Orenburg, on Friday, some residents expressed anger over how local officials had handled the situation, demanding greater compensation and begging for help from President Vladimir Putin.<br \/>\nThe Kremlin said Putin was being updated regularly on the situation but had no current plans to visit the area while emergency services tried to deal with rising waters.<br \/>\nIn Orenburg, some residents expressed disappointment that local officials had not done enough to prepare for the annual snow melt.<br \/>\n\u201cThere is a lot of excitement, indignation and strong emotions that I understand and share,\u201d Orenburg Mayor Sergei Salmin said. \u201cThe issue of receiving compensation and the procedure for processing payments is one of the main ones.\u201d<br \/>\nSNOW MELT<br \/>\nSpring flooding is a usual part of life across Russia \u2013 which has an area equal to the United States and Australia combined \u2013 as the heavy winter snows melt, swelling some of mighty rivers of Russia and Central Asia.<br \/>\nThis year, though, a combination of factors triggered unusually severe flooding, according to emergency workers.<br \/>\nThey said soils were waterlogged before winter and then was frozen under deep snow falls which melted very fast in rising spring temperatures and heavy rains.<br \/>\nClimate researchers have long warned that rising temperatures could increase the incidence of extreme weather events, and that heavily forested Russia is of major importance in the global climate equation.<br \/>\nIn Kurgan, a region which straddles the Tobol river, water levels rose in Zverinogolovkoye beyond the critical 10 metre (33 foot) mark, said Governor Vadim Shumkov who was shown visiting evacuated families.<br \/>\nKazakhstan has been badly hit.<br \/>\nThe emergencies ministry said on Thursday morning that the number of evacuees stood at over 97,000, unchanged from Wednesday, and a state of emergency remained in effect in eight regions of the country.<br \/>\nEmergency workers have removed 8.8 million cubic metres (310 million cubic feet) of water from flooded areas, the ministry said. The Kazakh government also said movement was restricted on hundreds of kilometres of roads in the Aktobe, Akmola, Atyrau, Kostanai, Mangistau and North Kazakhstan regions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fact: The Russian city of Orenburg battled rising water levels after major rivers across Russia and Kazakhstan burst their banks in the
