Rhône River

Map river systems with ready-made surface water analyses

Explore flow patterns and watersheds anywhere in Switzerland using Scalgo Live, an interactive platform for terrain and surface water planning.

Map flow paths and catchments

All surface water analyses in Scalgo Live are based on high-resolution elevation data provided by the Federal Office of Topography (Swisstopo) and the Federal Office for the Environment (BAFU). These analyses are ideal for planning flood mitigation and stormwater in cities, as well as designing natural landscapes in rural areas.

Discover how to map the Rhône River in three easy steps.

1. Make sense of surface flow

Flow paths are an excellent starting point for exploring large surface flow patterns. Easily change the detail level of your analysis in Scalgo Live.

2. Where does the water come from?

Outline watersheds and sub-catchments in no time. Scalgo Live shows that the Rhône River watershed from the Swiss border spans an area of 10,392 km².

3. Zoom in anywhere

Detailed analyses are at your fingertips. Check out surface flow paths in Geneva, located at the outflow of Lake Geneva, which is part of the Rhône River system.
