Of fundamental importance to most of our work with rivers is the secure archiving of quality controlled hydrometric data. Field operators have procedures to follow for downloading the data from loggers, matching the data with manual measurements and observations and transferring the data to the office. The raw data are backed up before the quality control process is carried out within the SEBA software DEMAS (http://www.seba.de/). Copies are then kept on our central server, backed up off site and continuous time series made available to individual clients through secure portals on the web site.
Analysis is carried out in a number of professional software packages and the data used to analyse river flows, flood characterisation, climate and water resources. The following statistics can be generated from the hydrometric data:
- Mean, maximum, minimum river flows
- Rainfall characteristics
- Long term trend analysis
- Flow duration statistics
- Flood frequency
- Peaks over thresholds
- Base flow index
Database services also include specific client requirements, including:
- Compensation flow compliance
- Water resource management
- Long term flow duration statistics
- Regional flow analysis
- Hydrometric network assessment
