How to use this data system
Searching for data using the maps
Using and obtaining data through this system is straight forward. To find a site
within a particular area of interest, navigate through the locality maps provided,
then click on the station indicator to view available site reports. Alternatively,
if the name or number of a particular site interest is known, it can be selected
from the pull down menus.
Data for individual Sites can be accessed by either navigating through
the locality maps and clicking on a Site or by selecting a Site Identifier
from the drop-down lists. To view the Site Identifier for a Site
on the map, roll the mouse slowly over the Site.
To print maps, select the Download map as PDF button on the map pages (the
quality of these maps has been optimised for printing, rather than web display).
Site Report pages
The following types of information are available:
- Reports - textual reports that can be viewed, printed
or downloaded.
- Plots - diagrams that can be viewed, printed or
downloaded in WMF format.
- Documents - includes site photos in JPG format
and data files in CSV format.
The data provided in this system is produced from the HYDSYS system as ‘snap
shot’ reports, which are only current at time of extraction. Refer to the
date on the header of the plots and reports for date of data extraction. Current
data may be available and can be requested by using the Request for Data
option at the bottom of each Site Report page.
When accessing data from this system it is very important to be aware of issues
that effect data quality and reliability. For more information on data accuracy
