Stream Flow and Meteorological Data

SVCA owns, operates, and maintains a hydrometric monitoring network, consisting of stream gauges and meteorological stations located throughout watershed. While some stream gauging stations measure only water level and discharge, many are equipped with additional sensors to measure the following parameters:

  • Water level
  • Precipitation
  • Air and water temperature
  • Wind speed and direction

Most of our stations are equipped with telemetry, which means that the data is automatically transmitted on an hourly basis, allowing for near real-time monitoring of current watershed conditions.

If you would like to request current or historical hydrometric data, please contact the Flood Forecasting and Warning Coordinator.  Costs may apply for data products.

RBC Tech for Nature funding enabled Saugeen Conservation to procure a data visualization tool and support for compiling data to provide the public with free access to the wealth of environmental data collected by SVCA. For decades, SVCA has been gathering surface water, snow survey, and watercourse data throughout the watershed.

Through partnership with the RBC Foundation, SVCA has made this data available in an AODA compliant format, to support community groups, environmental organizations, local governments, universities, and other stakeholders in their pursuit of watershed education and climate change initiatives.  

For more information about the Tech for Nature program, please visit: www.RBC.com/techfornature

To view SVCA surface water quality data over 29 locations throughout the watershed, back to 2003, please click here. 

Meteorological Stations

SVCA operates two meteorological stations that have been located to allow for monitoring of weather systems as they move through the watershed. The detailed information collected by these meteorological stations is used to assess flood potential in the watershed.
