högvattenperioder
Högvattenperioder, often translated as high water periods or flood seasons, refer to recurring intervals characterized by elevated water levels in rivers, lakes, or coastal areas. These periods are a natural phenomenon influenced by a variety of factors, including seasonal precipitation, snowmelt, and tidal cycles. In many river systems, high water periods are directly linked to increased rainfall or snowmelt in their upstream catchment areas. As precipitation accumulates and flows downstream, river levels gradually rise, potentially exceeding normal ranges.
Coastal high water periods are primarily influenced by astronomical tides, particularly spring tides, which occur when
