Global RiverLevels | Live Map

quote [ Interactive map that displays a rolling 7 day river gauge record.

Currently covering 12 nations. ]

So been refining some old projects of late.

After finding an R package, some more research lead me to RivRetrieve-PYTHON. After failed attempts, been constructing custom ingest scripts to acquire the data from open-source government sources.

Any suggestions?

What's the point..... heck would like to colour code the the pins in relation to the water level, allows easy visual of areas in flood or drought.

But first need to make it before can assign the colour coding.

That they do.

Majority of countries I pulled the full catalogue of gauges, even if no current telem.

Have a refinement layer that removes any without current 7-day data, but yea looking at integrating before, pretty-ing it up.

Honestly need to refine the XY co-ords to GPS (for countries like Netherlands) to get the points as accurate as possible before the rest of the prettyness.

Plus trying to be a good Netizen and sitting on my hands/holding off on pushing Brazil and some other places, until I hopefully get an API.

Or anyone want to listen as a rant about, yea the API v2.0 is great and all Singapore but only transmit telem during an active event.

It's a pretty niche hobby/tism so probably not.

Speaking of which, why is Sweden not updating; need to check those logs.
