What you can do with it

Typical work that data of this type supports.

  1. 01

    Design flows

    Estimate 1-in-50 and 1-in-100 year floods for bridges, culverts and spillways.

    Because it has: Ocean Discharge

  2. 02

    Low flows

    Set environmental flows and check what is left in the river in a dry year.

  3. 03

    Sea-level planning

    Plan for sea-level rise and storm surge.

Where AI adds value

Ideas for machine learning and AI agents built on this kind of data.

  1. 01

    Flow forecasting

    Train LSTM-style models on past records to forecast river levels and flow days ahead.

  2. 02

    Ungauged basins

    Combine with catchment data to estimate flow where there is no gauge.

  3. 03

    Surge forecasts

    Forecast surge and coastal water levels quickly.
