Von Dr. Friedrich Levy. Die Flußgebiete von Maas und Rhein bilden die Grenze zwischen dem westlichen und dem mittleren Europa. Was sich in diesem einen oder anderen Bereich an geologischen Vorgängen abspielte, muß rückwirkend auch für jene zu erheblicher Bedeutung gelangt sein. Ansehnliche Teile beider Flußgebiete sind seit langer Zeit, welche teilweise bis in das Mesozoikum hinaufreicht, Festland ge­ wesen. Ihnen kommt daher besondere hydrographische Bedeutung zu, sie waren von vornherein die Ausgangspunkte zur Entwicklung des heutigen Gewässernetzes. Gebiete von verhältnismäßiger tek­ tonischer Stabilität finden sich neben anderen, welche seit jeher durch eine besondere Unruhe und Beweglichkeit ausgezeichnet waren, alte Festlandsareale neben Gebieten noch jugendlicher Meeresbedeckung: es ist lohnend, den Wechselwirkungen dieser verschiedenen Faktoren nachzuspüren, ihren Einfluß auf die Ent­ stehung und Herausbildung des heutigen Gewässernetzes aufzudecken. Wenn in vorliegender Arbeit der Versuch gemacht werden soll, im obigen Sinne die Ergebnisse der bisherigen Forschung zu über­ schauen und zu vergleichen, um zu allgemeineren Vorstellungen zu gelangen, so muß von vornherein betont werden, daß einem solchen Versuche naturgemäß alle die Mängel anhaften, welche bei einer mehr oder weniger ausschließlichen Literaturarbeit nicht zu vermeiden sind.

  • Der Ursprung Des Eichelbachs Und Sein Weg in Die Nidda Der
    Der Ursprung des Eichelbachs und sein Weg in die Nidda Der Eichelbach ist ein ganz unspektakulärer Bach im Vogelsberg. Doch was wären wir ohne ihn. In der freien Enzyklopädie wird er als gut 18km langer linker bzw. südöstlicher Zufluss der Nidda beschrieben. Der Eichelbach entspringt im Vogelsberg nördlich des Hoherodskopfes und östlich von Schotten Breungeshain, so liest man dort. Er mündet bei Nidda-Eichelsdorf in die Nidda. So kurz, in nur zwei Sätzen, handelt die Enzyklopädie unseren Eichelbach ab. Doch wenn man interessiert ist, kann man daraus mehr ableiten. Bei dem Hinweis auf die Quelle „nördlich und östlich“ erkennt der aufmerksame Leser, dass der Eichelbach sich aus zwei Quellbächen bilden muss. Tatsächlich entspringt der bekanntere der beiden Quellbäche nördlich vom Hoherodskopf in der Breungeshainer Heide unterhalb des Taufsteins. Im Bruchgebiet zwischen dem bekannten Restaurant „Taufsteinhütte“ und der Jugendherberge sind die Ursprünge des Baches zu finden. Nicht eingefasst, noch nicht einmal mit einem kleinen Hinweisschild versehen, gluckert hier das erste Eichelbachwasser aus der Erde. Auch in der Grundschule meines Heimatdorfes Eichelsachsen lernten wir, dass hier die Quelle des Eichelbaches sei. Wir waren oft mit unseren Lehrern und der Schulklasse im Landschulheim auf dem Hoherodskopf, um die die gesunde Luft und den Blick auf die Landschaft zu genießen. Was war einfacher für den Lehrer als zu erklären, dass direkt dort unterhalb der Jugendherberge der Eichelbach, der durch unseren Wohnort fließt, entspringt. Ein kleines Rohr direkt am Straßenrand fasst das Quellwasser zusammen. Es lässt schon eine ganze Menge Wasser fließen, genügend um sogleich den Feuerlöschteich für das Haus der Jugend ausreichend zu füllen.

Subsequent forecasts also indicated a high risk of flooding for the Meuse River basin, affecting Belgium. The magnitude of the floods forecasted for the Rhine River basin increased significantly in this period. The first EFAS notifications were sent to the relevant national authorities starting on 10 July and, with the continuously updated forecasts, more than 25 notifications were sent for specific regions of the Rhine and Meuse River basins in the following days until 14 July. Figure: EFAS flood forecast from 12.07.2021 00:00 UTC Providing early and current maps of flooded areas On 13 July, the CEMS Rapid Mapping component was activated to map the ongoing floods in parts of Western Germany (EMSR517 Mapping Website , EMSR517 Activation Viewer). As a flood peak was foreseen on 16 July for segments of other rivers, CEMS preemptively acquired satellite images of the vulnerable area through Pre-Tasking on 14 July. These early images informed ensuing activations by the CEMS Rapid Mapping component based on the EFAS forecasts for areas in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and France.

These paleochannels are filled by mixed or stratified clastic and organic sediments originating from different sediment sources. Identifying these sediments' provenance is critically important for understanding past surface processes and reconstructing the Upper Rhine Valley evolution in the course of the Holocene. This study employed mid-infrared spectroscopy to determine the source of sediments and, therefore, understand which rivers may have contributed to the paleochannel infilling and establish the main patterns of filling through time. Sediment samples with unknown sedimentary provenance were collected in 16 sites consisting of paleochannels and the Ill River's levees. Mid-Infrared spectroscopic analyses were carried out on powdered (< 2 mm) samples using a Frontier Spectrometer (PerkinElmer) equipped with Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform accessory.
