Water knowledge

Understanding Broye-Kanal

The Broye Canal links Lakes Morat and Neuchâtel. During floods, water can flow back from Neuchâtel towards Morat. Direction therefore matters alongside discharge: interpret positive and negative signs using the data provider's convention, not an assumed direction.

This overview includes 1 monitoring station for water level and discharge. Not every station provides every measurement. Track changes at the same station, checking the timestamp, unit and source notes.

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.

Monitoring locations and what they measure

These sites describe our monitoring coverage, not the river's entire length or catchment. The list is alphabetical.
