The Elbe rises in the north-east of Bohemia, and one of its sources is about 4,500 feet above the level of the sea. It drains an area of 65,000 square miles, and next to the Khine is the most important of German rivers. It enters the North Sea near Cuxhaven, and like the Duna, Niemen, Vistula, and Oder, its general flow is in a north-westerly direction. Its principal affluents are the Moldau and Eger, both of which enter the Elbe on its left bank above the Bohemian town of Aussig, not far from ...the German frontier. Notwithstanding the comparatively favourable state of the river at ordinary water-level, the condition of its bed in some places at extreme low water was so deplorable in 1870 that a technical commission, which was convoked at that time, recommended the execution of a project which had for its object the permanent acquisition of a channel of a minimum depth of 2 feet 10 inches from the Bohemian frontier downwards. According to Mr. Ludwig Hagen, who has the supervision of all the Prussian streams, the minimum depths at ordinary water are now 5 feet from the Bohemian-Saxon frontier to the Saxon- Prussian frontier at Anhalt (163 miles), 5 to 6 feet from Anhalt to Havelburg (103 miles), and 6 to 6 J feet from Havelburg to Hamburg (121 miles).
