Danube riverriver in europe

The Rhine is navigable between Basel in Switzerland and its delta on the North Sea. It flows through Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, Germany, France and the Netherlands. It is the most important river in Germany.
In Germany, the federal states are responsible for disaster control. They can request help from the central government, which sends technical assistance, the federal police or the armed forces to the affected areas.
Water has always fascinated people. Especially when it cascades thunderously into the depths. Here we review ten of the most impressive ones, from Niagara Falls to the Rhine.
The Roman line of defense against Germanic tribes, called the Limes, stretched along the Rhine River. Now the historic part of the Roman frontier could become a World Heritage site.
What the Germans call the «fifth season» is coming to an end. In the week-long celebrations leading up to Lent, people are unpacking their costumes and partying all over the world.

River rhine

The Rhine River rises in the Alps, in the Swiss part, and continues through several European countries, especially Germany, being one of the great rivers of the continent. We discover some of its secrets.
The Rhine and the Danube formed most of the northern interior border of the Roman Empire. Since those days, the Rhine has been a vital waterway transporting trade and goods inland. Its importance as a waterway in the Holy Roman Empire is supported by the numerous castles and fortifications built along it. In the modern era, it has become a symbol of German nationalism.
The length of the Rhine River is conventionally measured in «Rhine-kilometers» (reinkilometer), a scale introduced in 1939 that runs from the Old Rhine Bridge at Constance (0 km) to Hoek van Holland (1036.20 km).
The river is significantly shortened from its natural course due to a series of canalization projects completed in the 19th and 20th centuries. [note 7] The «total length of the Rhine», at the inclusion of Lake Constance and the Alpine Rhine is more difficult to measure objectively; it was cited as 1,232 km (766 mi) by the Dutch Rijkswaterstaat in 2010. [note 1]

Since the early morning of July 17, there have been reports of tremendous flooding in the tributaries of the left bank of the Rhine, especially in its middle reaches. The images are Dantesque, with ruined homes and wrecked vehicles.
The polar jet stream situation the previous days shows an inverted Ω pattern over the central Atlantic, similar to, but reversed from, that which produced the extreme heat wave in the US states of Oregon and Washington and Canada’s British Columbia.
The problem with flooding is the lack of acceptance of uncertainty. Protocols are generally not prepared for these events, any more than they are for heat waves or fires. It is assumed that things will work in the average regime, and alternatives are not prepared for extreme cases. When these occur, the army is asked for help, the citizens themselves who can do nothing, and the systems are evidently undersized.

The Rhine flows through very different regions, which affects its regime and its possibilities of use.[8] It also has highlights within the European geography such as the Rhine Falls in Schaffhausen which constitute the waterfall with the highest average flow rate on the continent.[9] The Rhine is the largest waterfall in Europe.[10] The Rhine is the largest waterfall in the world.
Between the Black Forest and the Vosges, under the Rhine plain, flows an «invisible river». Europe’s largest groundwater reservoir stretches peacefully northward. Sometimes it rises to the surface to form numerous wetlands.[12] The hydrological regime of the Rhine is very similar to that of the Rhine.
The Rhine’s hydrological regime is harmonious, all its tributaries making complementary contributions: Aar (610 m³/s), Ill (58 m³/s), Neckar (145 m³/s), Main (190 m³/s), Moselle (400 m³/s), Lippe (100 m³/s), Ruhr (80 m³/s).
Its regime of Lake Constance is snowy and has a tendency to reduce its vitality. Then the Schaffhausen waterfall, which receives abundant water and is marked by the imprint of glaciers. The Rhine brings 410 m³/s and the Aar 610 m³/s, and reaches Basel with a flow of 1030 m³/s with a maximum in June and a minimum in January. The Rhine flows with about half of its flow at 20% of its basin.
