The monitoring network on this water

Hydrionis holds 3,473 values from 4 gauges on this water. Discharge is a property of a gauge and its reach, not of this water as a whole, so this page reports the network and its records rather than a single figure.

How these gauges were attached to this water

Named by the publisher Each gauge here names this water in the publisher’s own station record. Hydrionis has not inferred the connection from station names.

What this record holds

Hydrionis decides which waters get a page, and which of those are offered to search, from what is actually held rather than from how the page reads. Five signals are counted; this record has 3 of them, which makes it a full profile.

Where these figures come from

MeasuredHigh confidenceAugust 2024

Source: Hub'EauHydrométrie — French river flow and stage, V2322010. Licence: Open — attribution required (attribution required).

Method: Monthly mean discharge (QmM) computed by the publisher from its validated sub-hourly record, reported in litres per second and converted to cubic metres per second on ingestion. Where a site has been measured by more than one station, the station with the longest published series is used rather than blending stations whose values for the same month can differ.

Measured on L'Ain.
