Gauge Culemborg brug is on the Lek at kilometre 939.805, on the km 939.8–946.6 stretch.
The OLR is 255 cm and the fairway depth aimed for below it (TuOLR) is 367 cm; after a safety margin of 30 cm, the targeted official rule of thumb comes to Culemborg brug +82.
In practice Culemborg brug +82 is used here.
Note that Rijkswaterstaat publishes an MGD (Minst Gepeilde Diepte, least sounded depth). It always takes precedence, and unlike in Germany, no legal rights can be derived from the official rule of thumb.
This gauge has one forecast source: the 5-day forecast from Rijkswaterstaat RWsOS (red). Upstream lies Amerongen beneden, downstream Hagestein boven. Connected by canal to Tiel.
