I can't thank you enough for spending time to explain and give out your inputs. (You should be a professor in hydrology or maybe you are). From your information I think I understand somewhat in regard to the water flow not only from the surfaces from the tributaries but also from the underground. From the latest diagram I have noticed the deceleration of the water level drop, in fact, a little reverse direction at the end (from 1.75m to 1.76m) does give me hope. But let just say if there is no rain between now and then and the river water level continue to drop, what is the minimum number that you think is the cut line? for instant if it drops to 1m by Oct 21 is it still ok for the ship to depart?

Notamermaid: the current water level at Budapest is 3.6m but forecast show it will drop significantly every day and by Oct 12 it will be only 2.18m. Although there is no rain between today Oct 6 to Oct 12 that is still too much of a drop while the weather is cool and more on the chilly side. Can you explain why is that? Our cruise is Oct 21 but with this drop rate I am afraid that it will go under 1.2M by then.

Thank you for all valuable info. Please keep us informed. Ours is on Oct 21 from Budapest to Amsterdam. I just hope for a smooth sailing because my 90 years old mom will go with us, and bus tour is going to be a big challenge for her.

wow the captain concerns about "high" water, that is great. I still worry about low water level as our trip is 3 weeks away starting from Budapest. Thank you and keep us posted for the rest of your trip.

awesome. Please keep us updated. Have a great trip.
