The stone water at Steinsee on the Susten Pass |
The Steinwasser is an approximately 7 kilometers long right tributary of the Gadmerwasser in the Swiss canton of Bern .
geography
course
The stone water rises at Steingletscher near the Sustenpass at an altitude of 2,121.7 meters above sea level. M. .
It receives water from a number of nameless spring streams on its upper course. They arise from the Steilimigletscher and Obertalgletscher as well as the Steinsee and Seebodensee .
The stone water finally flows into Unterwasser at an altitude of about 1364 m above sea level. M. from the right into the Gadmerwasser.
The approximately 6.8 kilometers long course of the Steinwasser ends approximately 758 meters below its source, so it has a mean bed gradient of about 11 ‰.
Catchment area
The Steinwasser catchment area of 24.31 km² is located in the Urner Alps and is drained through it via the Gadmerwasser, the Aare and the Rhine to the North Sea.
It consists of 3.8% planted area , 8.7% agricultural area , 0.9% settlement area and 86.6% unproductive areas.
The area distribution
The highest point is the Sustenhorn at 3502 m above sea level. M. in the southeast of the catchment area. The mean height is 2463.3 m above sea level. M. and the minimum height is 1400 m above sea level. M. .
Main hydrological strand
Direct comparison at the confluence:
Surname | Length in km | Catchment area in km² | mean discharge in m³ / s |
---|---|---|---|
Gadmerwasser | 3.1 | 5.7 | 0.45 |
Stone water | 6.8 | 24.3 | 1.98 |
The Steinwasser is longer than the Gadmerwasser at the confluence, it has a larger catchment area and a larger mean discharge (MQ). It is thus the main hydrological strand .
