Rhine hydrology 2000
The table below shows the minimum, mean and maximum water flow of the river Rhine at various points of its course, for the year 2000 in Switzerland. For the German segment from Karlsruhe to the Netherlands, we show only the yearly mean value of the flow. The Rhine kilometres are counted, starting with 0 in the city of Constance, as is customary for the Rhine navigation. Thus we did mention negative km numbers for the measuring points which are upstreams of Constance.
