Water level today

The satellite measures the height of the water surface above sea level. Every figure carries how old it is, because the age of a level is that level’s error.

Roughly calibrated

80 percent band. Out-of-fold coverage 0.805 [0.759, 0.848] at 176 gauged reservoirs; weakest held-out country India and other at 0.511, so the band is calibrated where the labels are dense and not everywhere. Measured on archive-confirmed observations.

Where the level is heading

A three-to-four week outlook, with the range the level falls in 80 times out of 100. It widens with distance, because further ahead is less certain.

Level in metres above sea level. The band is the range the level falls in 80 times out of 100, and it was measured to hold 74 times in 100 at three weeks.

How this record was made

Every number on this page was computed once, under a frozen specification, from the sources listed here. The page computes nothing.

Validation
Checked against held-out gauges in this reservoir’s own climate and size group.
Continuity
No nadir track crosses it, so without SWOT only the surface area survives, not the level.
If SWOT stops
No Sentinel-3 or Sentinel-6 track crosses this reservoir. Without SWOT only the water area survives; no elevation series continues.
