VE-I-2: Low-water restrictions to shipping on the Rhine

The illustration entitled VE-I-2 ’Low-water restrictions on the Rhine’ is a grouped bar chart showing the number of days for the period of 1997 to 2021 when the equivalent water level values at the gauges of Maxau (Upper Rhine), Kaub (Middle Rhine) and Ruhrort (Lower Rhine) were not attained. Non-attainment of the equivalent water level signifies restrictions on the draught of vessels navigating the Rhine. There is no significant trend discernible for the Upper Rhine or the Middle Rhine.
