Gauge Dalem (Vuren) is on the Waal at kilometre 952, on the km 930–952.5 stretch.

Fairway depth and rule of thumb

The OLW is 33 cm and the fairway depth aimed for below it (TuOLW) is 397 cm; after a safety margin of 30 cm, the targeted official rule of thumb comes to Dalem (Vuren) +334.

In practice Dalem (Vuren) +364 is used here, +30 cm against the official rule.

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.
