Glatt

Glatt is an ambiguous name: Zurich's Glatt leaves Greifensee, but there is also a Glatt station at Herisau. The Greifensee outlet weir influences water release. Check the municipality and map position before assigning a Glatt curve to a particular reach.

This overview includes 8 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.

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.
