Water levels in Belgium

We follow 314 live gauges across Belgium, spread over 6 regions. Right now 146 of them read below normal for the time of year, 85 are in their usual range and 47 are running high.

Low water clearly outweighs high water at the moment. Autumn is often a low point for rivers after the summer, until steady rain returns. The biggest rivers on the list include the Molenbeek, Voer, Demer and Grote Molenbeek.

Readings come from Vlaamse Milieumaatschappij (waterinfo.be) and refresh as new data is published.
