Gauge Zutphen is on the IJssel at kilometre 929.3, on the km 930–931 stretch.
The OLR is 262 cm and the fairway depth aimed for below it (TuOLR) is 250 cm; after a safety margin of 30 cm, the targeted official rule of thumb comes to Zutphen -42.
In practice Zutphen -20 is used here, +22 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 Doesburg, downstream Deventer. Connected by canal to Eefde.
