Water level in Cologne

The lowest water level was measured on September 29, 2003 at 0.80m Cologne Gauge (C. G.). The second lowest was on November 4, 1947 at 0.83m C. G.
The fall of the Rhine in Cologne is approximately 0.2 per mill. Therefore the water level in Worringen, which is the northern city limit, is 8 m deeper than in Godorf the southern boundary.
The average water level of the Rhine is 3.48m C. G. and is referred to as mean tide. This is the 10 year statistical average of all water levels.
When the water reaches a level of 7.50m C. G. (depending on the rate of increase) a flood control center will be set up.
