125 stations from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and 8 stations from the Estonian Environmental Agency have been recently integrated into the hydrological data collection.

The CEMS Hydrological Data Collection Centre (HDCC) activated hydrological data transfer for 125 new stations from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA). 5 stations provide only historical data. 120 stations provide near real time data: 116 stations have water level and discharge values, 1 station provides exclusively discharge data, and 3 offer water level data. The near real time data have temporal resolution of 15 minutes and they have been incorporated into the HDCC database as part of the daily operational routines.

Furthermore, the CEMS HDCC team activated hydrological data transfer for 8 new stations from the Estonian Environmental Agency. These 8 stations provide near real time river water level and discharge data with hourly temporal resolution. These stations have been incorporated into the HDCC database as part of the daily operational routines.

Information on how hydrological data is used in EFAS, and on data collection and transfer methods are available here.

CEMS HDCC would like to thank the Scottish Environment Protection Agency and the Estonian Environmental Agency for providing data and making it accessible.
