Flood in Hanover: Raps climb alarming above average!

Hannover, Deutschland - On February 17, 2025, alarming levels of the leash were registered in Hanover. The main flows in the region are the leash and the Ihme. The leash, which rises in the southern Eichsfeld, flows through Göttingen and Hanover and flows north of Schwarmstedt into the Aller. In contrast, the IHME is shorter and flows into a leash north of Hanover after it has passed the Ricklinger gravel pond.

Current information on flood warnings in Lower Saxony are available, such as haz.de reported. The linen level in Hanover-Herrenhausen and Neustadt is intensively monitored. The registration conditions for floods are divided into four stages, starting with registration level 1, which uses when the drain is full on board, up to registration level 4, where larger flooding in built -up areas are likely. The data show that the level values ​​are often not specifically defined.
