Flooding along the river

Flooded floodplains along the river IJssel (Rhine delta) in the Netherlands

Last month (December 2010 and early January 2011) it snowed and rained a lot in the basin of the river Rhine (Switzerland, Germany, France and the Netherlands). The meltwater and rainwater has given flooding in the Rhine delta. Every few years there have been floods in the floodplain of the river IJssel. The IJssel, also called Gelderse IJssel, is the northern branch of the Rhine delta in the Dutch provinces of Gelderland and Overijssel.

 

Overstroomde uiterwaarden langs de IJssel bij Leuvenheim tussen Brummen en Spankeren

De afgelopen maand (december 2010 en begin januari 2011) heeft het eerst veel gesneeuwd en daarna geregend in het stroomgebied van de Rijn (Zwitserland, Duitsland, Frankrijk en Nederland).

Het smeltwater en het regenwater hebben flinke overstromingen gegeven in de Rijndelta. Ook bij de Gelderse IJssel, de meest noordelijke tak van de Rijndelta van Arnhem in Gelderland tot Kampen in Overijssel.
