Description
The main discharge feature in the potential siting region is the Rhine river. The surface elevation is between 300 and 700 m above sea level and the topography of the Rhine valley is characterised today by relatively gently sloping valley bottoms, with river terraces developed over gravels laid down in the Quaternary period. The present-day climate is described as cool temperate and is representative of interglacial conditions.
