The Amblève had been closed to navigation for 70 days. It took a spell of rain over the upper catchment to climb back above the 1.0 m³/s threshold and stay there.
2.82 m³/s on 19/08 0.74 m³/s today
At 2.82 m³/s the level is comfortable for a descent: the current carries you, without the flow approaching flood territory.
The level still depends on the weather over the coming days. If your trip is not imminent, check the flow the day before — it is the same SPW reading, updated every fifteen minutes.
