Description

This dataset includes validated measurements of hydrological parameters taken from the continuous HIC monitoring network covering Flemish navigable waterways. Specifically, it concerns the parameters of water level (both inside and outside the tidal area), discharge and precipitation.

The following actions are important in the creation of the dataset:
- installation, management and maintenance of monitoring points in the field;
- forwarding files with raw data from the individual data loggers to a central server;
- picking up the data files on the central server and performing the necessary conversions (ETL system);
- forwarding (ETL system) the converted data files to the WISKI database;
- 24*7 monitoring of ETL and WISKI database system and carrying out corrective maintenance if required;
- manual validation of measurements of the hydrological parameters waterlevel and discharge on a regular basis, based on gaugings, RTK control measurements and calibration measurements. This manual validation is done within the WISKI application, assigning a quality code to each data point. Validation includes removing outliers, filling missing data based on estimates or measurements from nearby stations, shifting data within a certain range,...;
- frequent manual validation of the precipitation data of the HIC monitoring network by the RMI;
- publication of validated data in hydrological yearbooks (discharges), multiannual overviews (tide area), ... Validated data are also available via HIC-webservices (https://hicws.vlaanderen.be)
