Water - Maximum flood levels exceeded on the Rhine
The high water on the Rhine caused by rain and thaw has reached its highest level in many places. The water level in Mannheim peaked at noon on Friday (7.38 meters), according to the flood forecasting center of the Rhineland-Palatinate State Office for the Environment on Saturday. In Koblenz, the flood peak (6.02 meters) was also exceeded on Saturday night. In Mainz and Kaub, the highest levels (6.00 meters) were expected for Saturday afternoon. Levels are expected to fall everywhere by the middle of the week.
At the Maxau gauge, the water level is expected to fall below seven meters at the beginning of next week. The Rhine is still closed to shipping at Maxau and Speyer. From Mannheim to Cologne, ships must continue to travel at a slower speed and, if possible, in the middle of the river.
