The gauge level does not directly correspond to the actual depth of the river (zero level is not at the riverbed); instead, as is the case with most Rhine gauges, the actual depth of the navigation channel is defined as: [2] Gauge value + Ideal depth of the navigation channel (1.9 m) − Equivalent water level (0.78 m)
Rain has raised water levels on the Rhine in Germany but most of the river remains too shallow for cargo vessels to sail fully loaded, commodity traders said on Wednesday, following a bout of dry ...
A spokesperson for the transport ministry told a government news conference on Wednesday that "we do expect an intensification of the low water level" on the Rhine, but could not say if or when ...
Water levels on the Rhine River could reach a critically low point in the coming days, German officials said Wednesday, making it increasingly difficult to transport goods — including coal and ...
As of August 2022, the River Rhine's water level had fallen so much that shipping was affected. [21] [22] The water level in Emmerich sunk to -3 cm, being 10 cm lower than the previous record from 2018.
The highest level of flood warning, at level four, was placed on the districts from Regensburg to Straubing. [15] In the meantime, heavy rainfall in Switzerland led to rising water levels in rivers and lakes, including the Sitter river at Goldach, Lake Constance, the High Rhine, and caused overflow at the Untersee and Lake Lauerz.

Kaub is the home of the Kaub gauging station, a "decisive" Rhine water level metering site. Kaub is located at the shallowest part of the Middle Rhine; ships with freight from the ports on the North Sea have to pass Kaub on their way to the southwest of Germany, where a major portion of the German industry is located. Once the level at the ...
Depending on the water level, this flow of the Rhine water is clearly visible along the entire length of the lake. The Rhine carries very large amounts of debris into the lake – over three million cubic meters (110,000,000 cu ft) annually. [29] In the mouth region, it is therefore necessary to permanently remove gravel by dredging.
