CAMELS-CH: 331 catchments in hydrologic Switzerland (DORA record)
CAMELS-CH: hydro-meteorological time series (streamflow, water levels, precipitation, air temperature) for 331 basins in Switzerland and neighbouring countries, 1981-2020, plus static catchment attributes (topography, climate, hydrology, soil, hydrogeology, geology, land use, human impact, glaciers). Eawag DORA repository record for the Swiss CAMELS dataset.

What you can do with it
Typical work that data of this type supports.
- 01
Design flows
Estimate 1-in-50 and 1-in-100 year floods for bridges, culverts and spillways.
Because it has: streamflow
- 02
Low flows
Set environmental flows and check what is left in the river in a dry year.
- 03
Storage tracking
Follow storage and releases through the season.
Because it has: water level
Where AI adds value
Ideas for machine learning and AI agents built on this kind of data.
- 01
Flow forecasting
Train LSTM-style models on past records to forecast river levels and flow days ahead.
- 02
Ungauged basins
Combine with catchment data to estimate flow where there is no gauge.
- 03
Storage from space
Estimate volume from satellite water area and altimetry.
