What the source measured

PEGELONLINE reported: High Water: SANKT ALDEGUND UP on MOSEL | Current level: 404 cm

The gauge on the MOSEL read 404 cm, reported by STANDORT KOBLENZ.

The gauge stands at kilometre 78.1 of that watercourse.

That figure is a height above the gauge's own zero mark, which sits at 84.02 m on its operator's datum — it is not the depth of the water.
