    16/07/2021 EMSR517 – Flood in Western Germany EMSR518 – Flood in Belgium EMSR519 – Flood in Switzerland EMSR520 – Flood in The Netherlands EMS INFORMATION BULLETIN Nr 144 THE COPERNICUS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SERVICE The Copernicus Emergency Management Service forecasts, notifies, and monitors devastating floods in Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland CEMS flood forecasting and notifying in Germany On 9 and 10 July, flood forecasts by the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service indicated a high probability of flooding for the Rhine River basin, affecting Switzerland and Germany. 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.

  • Results of Recent Terrace Research in the Middle Rhine Valley
    Results of Recent Terrace Research in the Middle Rhine Valley A lot of questions concerning the sequence of terraces in the Middle Rhine Valley as well as their genetic dependence on geological, geomorphological and climatic processes remain insufficiently answered. So far, three issues in particular have required further examination: -The phenomenon of the horizontal consistency ("Horizontalkonstanz") of the main terraces cannot be explained coherently. -Studies from adjoining valleys of the Nahe and Lahn rivers, have identified larger numbers of terraces within the upper terrace group (ANDRES & SEWERING 1983; GÖRG 1984; SEWERING 1993). -Unsolved problems concerning the positions and ages of the older (äHT) and younger (jHT) main terraces. Given these problems, we started re-mapping the terraces of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley by conducting numerous borehole drillings. Our results, which we combined with the findings presented in previous studies, demonstrate the existence of a total of 28 alluvial sediment bodies in the valleys of the rivers Nahe and Rhine between Bad Kreuznach, Bingen and Boppard (GÖRG 1984; PREUSS 1983; ANDRES & PREUSS 1983; PREUSS, BURGER & SIEGLER 2015). For the Lower Middle Rhine Valley we mainly used the publications of BIBUS (1980), HOSELMANN (1994) AND BOENIGK & HOSELMANN (2003). For the Moselle and Lahn CORDIER et al. (2006, 2014) and SEWERING (1993) provided helpful insights. Further information was obtained from FUCHS et al. (1983), BIBUS & SEMMEL (1977)AND SEMMEL (2009). .The Downstream Correlation Diagram (DCD) of river terraces in the Lower Nahe and Upper Middle Rhine Valley (see Fig. 1) contains 28 alluvial sediment bodies. They were identified at key locations with more than 720 borehole drillings, many of them in clusters, which in most cases reached the rockbed of the river terraces.

  • The Sandoz Spill: the Failure of International Law to Protect the Rhine from Pollution
    The Sandoz Spill: The Failure of International Law to Protect the Rhine from Pollution Aaron Schwabach* INTRODUCTION The fire at Sandoz Warehouse 956 near Basel, Switzerland, in No- vember 1986 and the subsequent spill of toxic chemicals into the Rhine River had a disastrous impact on the Rhine's ecology. The accident is widely regarded as Western Europe's worst environmental disaster in decades. 1 Two treaties govern pollution resulting from incidents such as the Sandoz accident: the Convention Concerning the International Commis- sion for the Protection of the Rhine Against Pollution 2 and the Conven- tion for the Protection of the Rhine Against Chemical Pollution. 3 As the names of the treaties show, their purpose is to protect the Rhine from pollution. The Sandoz spill, and similar accidents of lesser magnitude, demonstrate that the Rhine has not been protected. Despite a treaty pro- vision for arbitration and possible treaty violations by Switzerland, none of the downstream states sought any remedy against Switzerland under international law for damages caused by the Sandoz spill. This Com- ment discusses the Sandoz accident and its aftermath, explores the rea- sons for the failure of the Rhine treaty regime, and proposes remedies for the inadequacies of the existing treaties. Part I describes the causes and effects of the fire, including the eco- logical and economic damage resulting from the chemical spill, as well as the reactions of the public and the downstream governments to the spill. Part II discusses the principles of international law applicable to trans- boundary river pollution and describes in detail the treaties governing pollution of the Rhine.
