Rainfall and Streamflow monitoring

Summary

Since 1990 the Upper Parramatta River Catchment Trust has been collecting rainfall and streamflow data to validate and refine the Trusts detailed computer model of flood behaviour.

A network of 15 recording rain gauges and 6 stream level recorders have been set up to enable stream flow to be measures in real time. This provides one of the most intensive data collection systems anywhere in Australia. The recorders are linked to the Trust via telemetry, enabling data to be read as it is recorded. At each station, a sensor collects the data and sends the information by a radio signal to the Trusts office.

This data can be viewed and retrieved live on-line.
