Statistics

Statistics by country and year

Yearly summaries computed from the daily readings of every station: how many station-days were spent below the low-water level (LDC) or above the high-water level (HDC) — as a count and as a share of the station-days with thresholds. Useful for agriculture (irrigation seasons with low water) and navigation (days with restricted draught).

Agriculture: station-days below LDC mark the low-water periods when irrigation intakes and water availability are under pressure.
Navigation: days below LDC mean draught restrictions on that sector; days above HDC mean suspended traffic.

LDC: Low-water mark. The river stays above it on 94 of 100 ice-free days; below it, ships cannot sail fully loaded.
HDC: High-water mark. The river exceeds it on 1 day in 100; above it, navigation can be suspended.
Station-days: One station-day is one station measured for one day: 13 stations over 10 days make 130 station-days. It shows how widely and how long something lasted.

In 1907, most days below LDC were in November

Navigation windows

Days below LDC per month, by Danube sector from upstream to downstream: when draught is restricted. Minimum navigation depths will appear when the official sources deliver them.
