What the source measured
PEGELONLINE reported: Extreme High Water: ZERBEN UP on ELBE-HAVEL-KANAL | Current level: 1565 cm
The gauge on the ELBE-HAVEL-KANAL read 1,565 cm, reported by STANDORT BRANDENBURG.
The gauge stands at kilometre 346.2 of that watercourse.
That figure is a height above the gauge's own zero mark, which sits at 29.21 m on its operator's datum — it is not the depth of the water.
Urban PEI: 222,850 within a heuristic 50 km radius; not unique people.
