This dataset consists of daily records of total rainfall (mm) and mean daily streamflow (Megalitres/day) from monitoring stations across the Australian Capital Territory. These data are procured by the Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate and Transport Canberra and City Services.
pk – stands for ‘primary key’ – an internal record tracking identifier
QualityCode – numeric code denoting the quality of the data. See http://www.bom.gov.au/water/hrs/qc_doc.shtml for details
DatetimeAEST – time of record. Mean daily streamflow is calculated over a period from midnight (00:00:00) AEST to 23:59:59 AEST, with date and time assigned from the beginning of the period. Total rainfall is calculated over a period of 09:00:00 AEST to 8:59:59 AEST, with day and time assigned from the end of the period.
SiteID – a unique code for each site. Streamflow sites generally start with “410…” while rainfall gauges generally start with “570…”. See “ACT Hydrologic sites” for site details, including latitude:longitude and site name.
Unit – unit of measurement.
Value – a numeric value of the unit of measurement.
Varcode – a unique numeric code for each variable.
VariableName – the name of the variable.
LastObservedTimeAEST – date and time (AEST) when the record was last updated.
DataType – definition of the type of data aggregation method used.
Owner – denotes the agency that owns the data.

Point data is available in the table 'ACT streamflow and rainfall data - point data'

This table is the site location meta data for the ACT streamflow and rainfall data - daily data, and the ACT streamflow and rainfall data - point data datasets.

Point data for ACT streamflow, stream level, water quality and rainfall data for streamflow gauges and rainfall gauges across the ACT. Water quality data is present for two streamflow gauge locations. Daily aggregated data is available in the table 'ACT streamflow and rainfall data - daily data'. Spatial information can be found in the dataset 'ACT Hydrological Sites'
