Dismal conditions surround our lakes, an unfortunate state of affairs indeed.
The current water level in Lake Constance, Bregenz, stands at 2.76 meters, slightly above the lowest recorded for this time of year (2.70 meters). According to the forecast by the State Office for the Environment (Landesamt für Umwelt) of the relevant federal states bordering the lake, particularly Baden-Württemberg in Germany, the water level is predicted to rise further.
The forecast suggests that the water level may rise to over 2.80 meters or just under 3 meters by April 20th. This would represent a potential increase of up to 20 centimeters from the current level.
The predicted minimum water level for the same period is 2.70 meters, indicating a slight rise in the lake's water levels over the next few weeks. The current authority responsible for forecasting Lake Constance's water levels provides hydrological data and water level forecasts for the Bodensee region.
The current water level rise is influenced by potential rainfall amounts and snowmelt, factors that can significantly impact the lake's water levels. It's worth noting that the volume of water required to raise Lake Constance's water level by one centimeter is a substantial 5.4 million cubic meters.
This amount is equivalent to filling 36 million standard bathtubs (150 liters each), providing a tangible perspective on the scale of the water volume involved. While the current water level is approximately 10 centimeters above the lowest recorded for this time of year, it remains below the average for April.
Residents and visitors are advised to stay updated on the lake's water levels and any potential impacts on the surrounding areas. The forecast will be closely monitored, and updates will be provided as necessary.
