What the source measured

PEGELONLINE reported: High Water: PASSAU DONAU on DONAU | Current level: 403 cm

The gauge on the DONAU read 403 cm, reported by STANDORT REGENSBURG.

The gauge stands at kilometre 2226.7 of that watercourse.

That figure is a height above the gauge's own zero mark, which sits at 286.44 m on its operator's datum — it is not the depth of the water.
