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.
