Reference: 30 available daily means from the last 30 complete days (Coordinated Universal Time, UTC), compared with the current individual value. Being close to the median does not describe the spread of values. Gaps can affect daily means. This is neither a seasonal normal nor an official danger level.

Basis of comparisonCurrent reading, previous day and available 30-day daily means from the same reference station.

CalculationSeepegel uses the highest-flowing current reference station; stations along a river are not added together.

Discharge over the last 30 days

One line per station. Differences are not a direct inflow balance: measurement times, travel times, storage, withdrawals and tributaries can affect the values.

Visp (Zufluss)

Water level, last 30 days

One line per station. Elevation levels and local centimetre gauges are shown separately.

Water knowledge

Understanding Vispa

Vispa: this overview puts the available stations and measurements in context. The exact location matters, not just the water body's name.

This overview includes 3 monitoring stations for water level, discharge, and water temperature. Not every station provides every measurement. Track changes at the same station, checking the timestamp, unit and source notes. Related waters in this overview: Lake Geneva.

Discharge in m³/s is a volume per second, not the speed of the current. Station comparisons must account for location, measurement time and water travel time. A higher reading is neither automatically a flood warning nor an indication that the river is navigable.
