Not only when your feet are wet ...

High water measured at the winter harbor
When the Rhine swells, we get going.

What a resting heart rate is to humans, a water level of 3 meters is to the Rhine. Everything is normal, everything is fine. And after that? When do people in Mainz start talking about "flooding"? When the Rhine bursts its banks? Or only when the cellars near the river start to fill with water?
For the experts, the case is clear. For them, flooding occurs when the water level rises above the 4.75-meter mark. For us, the alarm bells ring even a little earlier...

When does what happen?
