It collates river flows, river levels, groundwater levels, precipitation, potential evapotranspiration and temperature time series at monthly to hourly timescales. Daily hydro-meteorological timeseries are provided from 1st October 1970 – 30th September 2022, hourly hydro-meteorological timeseries are provided from 1st October 1990 09:00 to 1st October 2022 08:00, and groundwater level timeseries cover a range of time periods (ranging from 7 – 72 years with the earliest records beginning in the 1950s).
A comprehensive set of catchment attributes are quantified describing a range of catchment characteristics including topography, climate, hydrology, land cover, soils, hydrogeology, hydrometry and human influences.
