The Schüss ( French La Suze ) is a 43 km long river in the Bernese Jura .
geography
course
The source of the Schüss is above the hamlet of Le Cerf at the top of the Vallon de Saint-Imier , one of the long valleys of the Jura at 966 m above sea level. M. . The Schüss follows the valley in a northeasterly, later easterly direction to Reuchenette .
Here the Schüss breaks through in a classic Jurassic clus to the south. Shortly before entering the Plateau steps out, it forms the Taubenlochschlucht . The hiking trail through the gorge had to be closed several times because of the risk of falling rocks.
The Schüss then flows through Biel / Bienne , where its hydropower was used intensively in the age of industrialization. In Biel, the Schüss is divided into two natural and one artificially created arm. The southern arm - the Madretschschüss - flows directly into the Zihl , the northern arm - the Bielschüss - first crosses under the old town, then joins the artificially created Schüss Canal and finally flows out at an altitude of 429 m above sea level. M. in the Bielersee .
Catchment area
The catchment area of the Schüss is 216.27 km² and consists of 50.3% wooded area , 41.0% agricultural area and 8.2% settlement area .

The mean height of the catchment area is 984 m above sea level. M. , the minimum height is 427 m above sea level. M. and the maximum height at 1605 m above sea level. M.

Hydrology
At the confluence of the Schüss in the Bielersee, the modeled mean flow rate (MQ) is 6.15 m³ / s. Her discharge regime type is pluvial jurassia, and her discharge variability is 26.
The flow rate of the Schüss fluctuates relatively strongly over the course of the year. The highest water levels were determined for the months of February to April. The flow rate peaked in April at 9.68 m³ / s. Thereafter, the discharge fell noticeably month after month and reached its lowest level in August at 3.30 m³ / s, only to increase steadily from month to month in September.
