Water level and depth
Passage Tool compares the live water level at Oestrich with the gauge's equivalent low water level (GlW). In the section Budenheim/Niederwalluf - St. Goar the fairway is maintained at a depth of 1.9 m at GlW, so a reading above GlW means more water under the keel than that guaranteed minimum.
Bridge clearance
There are no fixed bridges over the fairway in this section, so the Oestrich reading matters here mainly for depth.
