EDENZ – accessing historical data

 

An example of EDENZ long-run data – river flow.

“How has the level of that river fluctuated since irrigation-take began six years ago?”

EDENZ provides archived data of river flows, river levels, rainfall, plus climate and some air quality data, for downloading, while
near-real-time data can be viewed. Data from NIWA’s sea level monitoring network is also available.

Since EDENZ data became freely available recently, use has increased by about 800%. Two thirds of all visitors stay long enough
to view at least one graph, and most data downloads have been of river flow and sea level data.
