How to use the river, dam, canal and water level guides

Besides the 3D map there are plain guide pages that open quickly on any device: rivers, dams, canals and today's water levels. Every river and dam has its own page with a small map and common questions.

How to use it

  1. Pick a section

    The menu has rivers, dams, canals and water levels. On phones it is one row of tabs; the page you are on is underlined.

  2. Open a place's page

    Tap a name in a table or list for details: which provinces a river crosses, how long it is, where it flows, where a dam is and how much it holds.

  3. See it on the map or share it

    Every page has a button that opens the 3D map with the place selected, and a share button.
