Question

The water level is  meters from sea level

Answer 1

To find the water level of the river at the end of summer, you need to add the two depths below sea level.

1. Initial water level: 112 meters below sea level
2. Drop during summer: 213 meters below sea level

To find the total, you add these two values:

\[ 112 , \text{meters below sea level} + 213 , \text{meters below sea level} = 325 , \text{meters below sea level} \]

Therefore, the total water level at the end of summer is 325 meters below sea level.

Answer: The water level is 325 meters below sea level.
