The Aare (Swiss Standard German: ⓘ) or Aar (Swiss Standard German: ⓘ) is the main tributary of the High Rhine (its discharge even exceeds that of the latter at their confluence) [2] and the longest river that both rises and ends entirely within Switzerland.
The Limmat is a river in Switzerland. The river commences at the outfall of Lake Zurich, in the southern part of the city of Zurich. From Zurich it flows in a northwesterly direction, continuing a further 35 km until it reaches the river Aare. The confluence is located north of the small town of Brugg and shortly after the mouth of the Reuss.
Water chemistry in river ecosystems varies depending on which dissolved solutes and gases are present in the water column of the stream. Specifically river water can include, apart from the water itself, [citation needed] dissolved inorganic matter and major ions (calcium, sodium, magnesium, potassium, bicarbonate, sulphide, chloride)
The Aare Gorge (German: Aareschlucht) is a section of the river Aare that carves through a limestone ridge near the town of Meiringen, in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. [1] The gorge is an indirect product of glaciation ; 10,000 years ago, just as the Ice Age was coming to an end, torrential runoff water from melting glaciers ...
The Murgenthal Status stipulates that the flow of the Aare River must not exceed 850m 3 /s (30,000 cu ft/s) at the gauge of Murgenthal's station, which is located downstream of the confluence of the Aare and the Emme rivers. When the Emme river flow increases, the flow of the Aare downstream of their confluence increases accordingly, which may ...
Before the works started in 1868, the Aare did not flow into Lake Bienne, but divided into several branches after the city of Aarberg, to join the Thielle, which flows into and out of Lake Bienne, near Büren an der Aare. Depending on weather and water conditions, the alluvial deposits and debris carried by the current would form banks damming ...

This occurs because the river Aare (German: Aare), which drains Lake Thun, has only limited capacity to handle the excess runoff. The lake is fed by water from Lake Brienz to the southeast, which is 6 metres (20 ft) higher than Lake Thun, and various streams in the Oberland, including the Kander.
