English: A limnimetric scale is a ruler, usually made of enamelled steel, that resists corrosion. They are generally attached by means of anchoring to existing infrastructures (bridge, quay, concrete wall) in order to ensure their durability. During periods of flooding, they allow municipalities to monitor and follow the rise in river levels.
