Observed water level
—
Half-section from the river centre to the Kanjiža bank. Beach and road levels are local estimates, not surveyed; only the 550 and 750 cm thresholds are official (RHMZ).
Official thresholds unavailable.

Water level unavailable
Schematic cross-section, not to scale. Water levels and defence thresholds refer to the local gauge zero, not water depth. The drawn bed, floodplain and levee crest are not surveyed elevations; a defence threshold does not automatically indicate floodplain inundation. No clearance to the levee crest or unverified record is shown.
Official thresholds · RHMZWater-surface profile and flood-wave dynamics
24-hour level change along the reach: the dashed line is the calm (unchanged) state, the blue line shows where water rises or falls.
The slope is balanced; no incoming flood wave is indicated.
Actual water surface vs Kanjiža
Estimate: the calm-state slope (Szeged +6, Kanjiža 0, Senta −4 cm) shifted by the difference in 24 h changes.
Why do the gauges disagree? Each gauge measures from its own "zero", set at different heights — so Senta looks 2 m higher. In reality the Tisa is almost flat here: in calm conditions the surface is about 6 cm higher at Szeged and 4 cm lower at Senta than at Kanjiža. When Szeged rises, the gap widens and the wave reaches Kanjiža in 5–7 hours.
Upstream early-warning gauges
Indicative chart: absolute water-surface comparison is withheld until gauge-zero elevations are verified; travel times are typical values, not a forecast. Official flood information comes from the water authorities.
