Water level gauge painted on a boulder in the Alaknanda river bed (India)
See the scale of the boulder on this photo.
I guess if the water level reaches more than 3 meters, the huge boulder would roll down, so they didn't bother painting the top part of the scale!
The Alaknanda river is one of the headstreams of the Ganges river.
