Gauge Hagestein boven is on the Lek at kilometre 946.64, on the km 946.6–949.1 stretch.
The OLR is 255 cm and the fairway depth aimed for below it (TuOLR) is 435 cm; after a safety margin of 30 cm, the targeted official rule of thumb comes to Hagestein boven +150.
In practice Hagestein boven +150 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 Culemborg brug, downstream Hagestein beneden.
