Water levels in Germany

We follow 723 live gauges across Germany, spread over 16 regions. Right now 140 of them read below normal for the time of year, 393 are in their usual range and 7 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 Elbe, Neckar, Rhine and Weser.

Readings come from Wasserstraßen- und Schifffahrtsverwaltung des Bundes (PEGELONLINE) and refresh as new data is published.
