Mittellandkanal: water levels along the river

We have 27 gauges on the Mittellandkanal. 1 is below normal for the date and 5 are above. The balance has swung towards high water.

On this page the river runs through Nordrhein-Westfalen, Niedersachsen and Sachsen-Anhalt. Reading the gauges in order shows how a rise or a dry spell travels downstream, usually over a day or more on a big river. Autumn is often a low point for rivers after the summer, until steady rain returns.
