Overview
WIMS allows capturing water level (stage) and flow rate (discharge) data for stations (rivers, lakes). This data is vital for monitoring water resources and making informed management decisions.
• Data Sources: Automated sensors, manual readings, or user submissions.
• Stage & Discharge: Stage is water level relative to a reference point, while discharge is the volume of water flowing past a point over time. WIMS likely handles both or calculations based on their relationship.
• Data Entry: Users input station, date/time, stage height, and discharge (if measured) or select a calculation method based on stage.
• Validation: WIMS might check for data accuracy against historical records or flag unrealistic values.
• Storage & Management: Entered data is stored within WIMS for analysis, visualization, and integration with other water resource data.
Accurate data entry is crucial, and WIMS facilitates this with user-friendly tools for collection, validation, and storage.
