A photo from 2020 is mistakenly published to illustrate the drop in water levels in lakes

HIBRID

The Regional Water Supply Company "Prishtina" has published two photos of Lake Badovci and Lake Batllava on its official Facebook page.

The description of these photos states that the water level in these two lakes has dropped, calling for rational use of drinking water (see here)

However, after researching through the automated online fact-checking program "InVID", hibrid.info has managed to confirm that one of these photos is not current, but was taken in 2020.

Based on the “InVID” program, it was found that this photo was first published on November 10, 2020 by the “Prishtina” Water Company itself. (see here)


To further clarify the fact that this photo is from 2020, hibrid.info found it posted in an article on the information portal "Koha.net". (see here)


Analyze:

The Regional Water Supply Company "Prishtina" has called for the rational use of drinking water, and in this call it has also posted two photos of Lake Batllava and Badovci.

However, one of these photos is not current, but was first published in November 2020, based on research through the automated online fact-checking program "InVID".

The same photo was posted in November 2020 by the Prishtina Water Company itself, which posted the same as current today (August 18).

Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info rates this article as "Error".


Reasoning:

The "Error" rating is given to media reports in which the media editorial staff made a mistake by publishing incorrect information or broadcasting unverified news from another source, without the clear intention of misinforming the public.
