Annual Check Survey (ACS) |
A report which displays the results from an annual comprehensive survey of a site. At the annual visit all measuring points, references and datum are checked. |
AnnualYearToDateRanked |
A report of total annual flow volumes in megalitres ranked from the highest flow to the lowest. |
Basin |
A Basin is a major river catchment. The catchment boundary follows the ridge line of hills that surround the river system. |
Basin Summary |
Provides flow volume, total rainfall and water quality loads for sites that fall within a selected river catchment boundary. |
Daily Flow Volume |
Flow volume in megalitres reported at daily intervals |
Daily Total Rainfall |
Total rainfall in millimetres reported at daily intervals |
Daily WQ Loads |
Water quality loads in kilograms reported at daily intervals |
Data Type |
A number representing the way the data is to be stored and interpolated. |
Downloads |
Reports that are available to download onto your computer |
Hazard report |
Reports on hazards that have been identified at the current monitoring sites and any action that should be taken. |
Hourly Maximum Instantaneous flows |
Flow volume in megalitres reported at hourly intervals |
Instantaneous Rainfall |
Total rainfall in millimetres reported at hourly intervals |
LogPearson |
Log Pearson Type 111 analysis which can be used to estimate the magnitude of events such as the 100 year flood. For more information - refer to: Log-Pearson analysis, as described in Australian Rainfall and Runoff Volume 1 (Revised Edition 1987), Section 10.5. |
MonthlyYearToDate |
A monthly summary report of flow volumes in megalitres. |
Outfall Flow |
Provides daily flow volumes for each "end of catchment" site listed and the daily total flow volume for all listed sites. |
Quality Code |
A number which represents the quality of the data that it applies to. |
Rating table |
A table unique to each site which is used to determine flow from water level. |
Site |
A location where a water monitoring program has been implemented. |
Telemetry data |
Data that has been collected from the logger in the field but is unverified |
Variable Code |
A number which represents anything that is monitored such as rainfall, water level, flow or water quality determinants. |
Work program |
Describes the schedule for all sites in the current water monitoring program. |
WQ Raw Data |
Raw water quality data reported at the date/time collected |
