Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, that seems to be backed up by the book "Urban Drainage" (http://books.google.com/books?id=bjlIpZn7jigC&pg=PA334&lpg=PA334&dq=Einzugsgebiet+watershed&source=web&ots=ju--NrpPBX&sig=QIco3fSK1aIJL_zg8GSSuNBNhlA&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PPA170,M1)

agree  Kim Metzger: I'm not a specialist, but I think that's right. Langenscheidt Technik offers weir level for Wehrhöhe. "Weir: structure that spans a channel and controls the local streambed elevation." http://www.pskf.ca/publications/c-glossary.html
