ingo_e Posted April 18, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2012 As there are questions on river levels in Europe popping up every now and then (especially due to last seaons drought), I did some reseach on the topic. I hope this will bring the quality of the discussions on this great board to a higher level and spares us some time to parrot again and again why rivers levels are hard to predict. Read why a long term forcast for next season is impossibe. Well, if you want to try, you'll find the watersheds of all european rivers and seasonal issues here: http://www.rivercruiseinfo.com/content/hydrology-and-european-watersheds Here is an overview to all german river stretches: The Danube, Elbe, Main, Moselle and Rhine. German authorities provide a 30 days graph (in centimeters), all I did was to put them in the right order and to add important cities and river confluences. http://www.rivercruiseinfo.com/content/river-levels For non german river stretches of Elbe, Danube, Seine, Rhone, Saone or the waterways in Belgium and the Netherlands, read here: http://www.rivercruiseinfo.com/content/list-waterlevels-europe If I missed something important, please leave a comment and I will add the information asap.

Rare steamboats Posted April 18, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Ingo, Actually knowing the current water levels is sort of useless as long as you don´t know the bridge clearances of each bridge or the minimum amount of water you need to get over a certain point. For the German part of the Danube river I prefer (and the Bavarian part of the Main river) http://www.hnd.bayern.de for high water warnings http://www.nid.bayern.de for low water warnings I also highly suggest http://www.elwis.de for water levels and for lock closures or any other kind of closures. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
