Gauge Tiel is on the Waal at kilometre 913.25, on the km 914–930 stretch.
The OLR is 255 cm and the fairway depth aimed for below it (TuOLR) is 280 cm; after a safety margin of 30 cm, the targeted official rule of thumb comes to Tiel -5.
In practice Tiel +10 is used here, +15 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.
This gauge has one forecast source: the 5-day forecast from Rijkswaterstaat RWsOS (red). Upstream lies Dodewaard, downstream Zaltbommel. Connected by canal to Amerongen beneden and Culemborg brug.
