PEGEL is the official data platform of the German Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration, providing authoritative, real-time hydrological measurements across Germany’s principal rivers and waterways. The platform delivers continuous updates on water levels, flow rates, and temperatures for major water bodies such as the Rhine, Danube, Ruhr, Main, Ems, and Elbe, supporting navigation, flood monitoring, and water management. PEGEL’s data is widely referenced by shipping operators, government agencies, and researchers for operational decision-making and regulatory compliance.
The data suite includes live readings, historical time series, and trend analyses, offering comprehensive coverage of Germany’s inland water network. Users gain access to granular site-specific data and aggregated regional overviews, supporting a range of applications from route planning and infrastructure maintenance to environmental risk assessment and scientific research.
PEGEL’s hydrological data can be accessed directly through ICE Connect’s robust desktop interface, enabling users to monitor current conditions, analyze historical developments, and conduct detailed reporting. For organizations requiring automated data flows or custom integrations, PEGEL data is also available via ICE APIs and bulk file options, facilitating seamless integration with in-house operational, analytical, or compliance solutions.
