Danube · km 2015.2
Kienstock
Held by locks Level held by locks. Weirs keep a working depth through a drought, so the risk on this stretch is high water and lock operations — not low water.
The Wachau, held by the Austrian barrage chain, so it keeps its depth through a drought. We carry no depth model for it in v0, so it is orientation only.

Impounded through the Austrian chain. The Wachau inside it genuinely runs free, and Kienstock sits in it, but no maintained-depth model exists for that gauge.

DoRIS / viadonau — Austrian Danube river information (official)
Austrian gauge readings, fairway information and river notices for the Danube.
Waterlogged does not reproduce or interpret the values on this page. Written confirmation of commercial reuse is still outstanding, so no DoRIS series or reference mark is ingested or derived on a customer page.

The European portal that distributes the current Budapest and Kienstock readings Waterlogged shows, naming OVF and viadonau as the originators.
History on this date
History on this date
The multi-year archive behind this gauge is permission-gated, so Waterlogged publishes no history panel for it. The publisher's own pages are linked above.
This is measured history, not a forecast and not an estimate of disruption probability.
Rain in the next 14 days
Status: rain forecast not yet enabled. Waterlogged shows forecast precipitation only under a paid Open-Meteo commercial contract, and no contract key is configured on this deployment. The official services linked below publish their own rain forecasts.
Rain may slow a fall or create a rise after losses and routing. Waterlogged does not convert this forecast into gauge centimetres or a cruise-disruption probability.

Source, licence and limits
- Source: EuRIS Hydrometeo v3 — terms of use.
- Measurement time: every reading on this page carries the time it was taken, and a stale reading is flagged rather than reused.
- Transformation: the level is the publisher's. The gap, where one is shown, is Waterlogged's arithmetic and is labelled as such.
- Reference-data note: live via EuRIS Hydrometeo v3 series 5a891347-6303-40ce-923a-55f34fa6a944 at RIS location ATROA00001G000520152; EuRIS identifies viadonau as the originator. MW/HSW/HW100 remain transcribed from viadonau KWD 2020 and confirmed in the EuRIS threshold metadata (RNW 161 cm too — see high_water_cm.source_note; deliberately not carried as ref_cm). Units are centimetres above the gauge's own PNP.

Wachau reference inside the Austrian Danube. The viadonau observation is delivered through EuRIS Hydrometeo v3 during the pilot, but Kienstock still carries no depth model (RNW 2020 is 161 cm above its own Pegelnullpunkt per viadonau KWD 2020, with no maintained-depth figure to pair with it), so it remains context only and cannot change a low-water risk call. Its high-water marks are live (see high_water_cm) and DO apply: the reach is impounded, which is drought-proof, not flood-proof.
