The Ron is a creek a good ten kilometers long in the Swiss canton of Lucerne . It is a right tributary of the Reuss .

geography

course

The Ron flows into the southwestern end of the Rotsee and leaves it at its northeastern end.

After leaving the lake, the Ron runs for approx. 7 km through the Rontal past Ebikon and Dierikon and flows out at an altitude of 408.1  m above sea level. M. at Root from the right into the Reuss.

Catchment area

The 21.8 km² catchment area of ​​the Ron lies in the Swiss plateau and is drained through it via the Reuss, the Aare and the Rhine to the North Sea.

It consists of 21.8% wooded area , 47.2% agricultural area , 27.7% settlement area , 3.0% water area and 0.3% unproductive areas.

Area distribution

The mean height of the catchment area is 523  m above sea level. M. , the minimum height is 408  m above sea level. M. and the maximum height at 839  m above sea level. M.

Hydrology

At the confluence of the Ron into the Reuss, its modeled mean flow rate (MQ) is 500 l / s. Her discharge regime type is pluvial inférieur and her discharge variability is 25.
