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.

  • Pleistocene to Recent Tectonics in the Rhenish Massif (Germany)
    Netherlands Journal of Geosciences / Geologie en Mijnbouw 81 (2): 217-221 (2002) Pleistocene to Recent tectonics in the Rhenish Massif (Germany) W.Meyer^&J.Stets1 1 Geologisches Institut der Universitat Bonn, Nussallee 8, D-53115 Bonn, Germany 2 corresponding author; e-mail: [email protected] Manuscript received: August 2000; accepted: January 2002 Abstract Uplift of the Rhenish Massif can be demonstrated by means of the stream-made river terrace system that accompanies the Rhine river and its tributaries along their way through or within this part of the Variscan fold and thrust belt. The height dif­ ference between a former valley floor, especially that of the Younger 'Hauptterrasse' (Main Terrace), and the recent one allows to quantify the uplift by the amount of downcutting erosion. The uplift velocity increased just after the BRUNHES / MATUYAMA boundary, i.e. about 0.8 Ma B.R Since that time, a domal uplift of more than 250 m is documented in the eastern Hunsriick and in the south-eastern Eifel.The area of this maximum height anomaly is situated just between the East- and West-Eifel Quaternary volcanic districts. Thus, causal connections are supposed. The domal uplift is affected by normal faulting partly inherited since Tertiary rifting.

  • Berlin, 18. August 2021 Extent of Damage on the Night from 14Th To
    Berlin, 18. August 2021 Extent of damage On the night from 14th to 15th July, heavy rain resulted in quickly rising water levels of a number of smaller rivers, e.g., the rivers Ahr and Erft, in the federal states of Rheinland-Pfalz and Nordrhein-Westphalen. Many villages and smaller towns situated at these rivers experienced flooding which surpassed the expected extreme high-water events (likelihood of once in 100-200 years). The floods caused massive damages to buildings, streets, but also vegetation alongside these rivers. In addition, many more houses experienced flooding of the basement and ground floor. Only for the Ahr valley alone, it is estimated that 17,000 people have lost their homes; 133 people have died and 766 were hurt (as reported by SWR on 13 August 20211). Since the catastrophe response is organised on the municipal and federal level, it will take more time to arrive at general numbers encompassing all the districts in both federal states. With regard to damages to cultural property, the extent is still unclear as not one organisation or official institution is tasked to gather this information, including Blue Shield. We can say that the full spectrum of cultural property has been hit: archives, museums, libraries and monuments & sites (including churches). The last group is expected to show the worst damage as they could not be evacuated and are more susceptible to the second wave of damage, i.e., through demolitions or simply bad repairs. With this many livelihoods having been lost and insurance companies being more interested in saving costs (building new houses), privately owned monuments face a high risk of disappearing.

  • DWA Water Quality Model - an Instrument to Support Water Management Planning Functions with the Example of the Erft River
    DWA Water Quality Model - an instrument to support water management planning functions with the example of the Erft river E. Christoffels Erftverband, Bergheim, Germany Abstract The DWA water quality model can be used for a wide range of water management planning activities. Fields of application extend from data and system analysis, to the analysis of alternatives in water pollution control planning, to the implementation of alarm plans. The example of the Erft river is used to present the results of water quality simulations with a view to assessing current conditions and forecasting the future development of water quality. Keywords: Erft, water quality model, plausibility check, water temperature, oxygen, ammonium, sumpwater, combined sewer overflow, riparian vegetation. 1 Introduction In the course of progressive improvement of surface water quality, point sources are losing their significance as the dominant influence. Today water quality is affected to a high degree by many other important factors. Apart from external impacts, effects of internal processes within the water body are receiving greater attention than in the past. Predicting the impact of various water uses and the effects of measures to improve water quality is challenging because of the large number of relevant factors within a complex system. Despite this complexity, practical instruments are needed to predict the impact of human activities, to clearly demonstrate the need for measures based on existing water quality standards, and to foresee the outcome of such measures. The DWA water quality model is an efficient instrument to support water management planning functions. It serves as a simulation model for creeks, brooks and rivers which is available as a software tool.
