A very wet weekend saw teams across the country collecting vital high flow data. Cornwall team were out both days and captured peak data at Bolingey gauging station. This ensures accurate live data streams constantly into incident rooms which is used to issue flood warnings.

A lovely late autumn day to sign off a project completed by always brilliant @EnvAgencySW @DCfieldteamsEA. New public safety fencing and staff gauge at Molingey GS, St Austell The site is now match fit for its important work flood warning as well as abstraction issues upstream

Out at the beautiful Werrington Park gauging this morning. Our topographical surveyors are checking all levels are correct to ensure our data is A1. Shame it feels like the start of summer when it is soon to end!

Rainy summer days but no stopping @DCfieldteamsEA as they overhaul another @HydrometryEA real time raingauge. You can see the temporary Pelicase setup that kept the dataset flowing while the overhaul took place. Great to have another one back in fine fettle!

Projects large and small contribute to the health of our @EnvAgencySW @HydrometryEA assets. Here Dave and Paul our friends over in @DCfieldteamsEA have provided new surrounds to our raingauge at Colliford, high on Bodmin Moor… safeguarding real time rainfall dataset

Ending the week on a high with excellent news from the wilds of Exmoor! Gauge thoroughly overhauled by NIVUS UK with new microrenewables, measurement sensors and telemetry housing. Thanks to all involved for getting this vital improvement completed

Real time Raingauges are vital for EA operational response. We use them for Flood Warning and Water Quality investigations. @HydrometryEA Assets age and need relifing, so pleased to report that @DCfieldteamsEA have recently overhauled this gauge. Thanks so much!

A bit of remote boat action at Polson In Cornwall area during an ADCP training session with one of our suppliers🚤 Deploying ADCP devices in remote boats enables us to capture critical flow data in all conditions in places that are inaccessible on foot. #Hydrometry @envagencySW

Pictures tell a thousand words! A busy night for @EnvAgencySW with challenging conditions on the coast. Pleased to play my part helping look after our teams out taking observations of conditions to help update warnings and inform future warning procedures

It’s a wrap for Easter. And what egg-collect work by @DCfieldteamsEA who have now completed the overhaul of Trewoon raingauge Improved resilience and operator safety will see this one match fit for years to come A well earned break for those on site who made it all happen

EA Hydrometry on the silver screen! @EnvAgencySW @HydrometryEA raingauges giving valuable context about last nights flooding in Cornwall Really shows the value of the data that is tirelessly collected by our teams. And great that @DCfieldteamsEA recently upgraded Bastreet

Progressing nicely! Refurb of a cabinet housing our flood warning gauge at Canworthy Water ⚠️ The ever brilliant @DCfieldteamsEA problem solving to bring the cabinet up to the grade for a mains power install. All ways round this will increase site resilience. Bravo them!

Best bit of the job -meet @DCfieldteamsEA beginning refurbish of Trewoon raingauge First part is to remove! Every single fence post was rotten at ground level. Whilst it looks like ground Zero now all will be well soon- updates to follow as the new gauge emerges

Tis looking amazing at Holsworthy! @DCfieldteamsEA pulling out all the stops to overhaul our raingauge Much needed improvements for @EnvAgencySW @HydrometryEA to keep the vital data stream online for #floodwarning and drought analysis. Thanks to those on the ground doing it!

A bit like the Snow Queen in Narnia- apparently it was -8 on site this morning 🥶 ❄️. However @DCfieldteamsEA have prevailed and got the new raingauge cabinet in making a massive improvement. More peripheral work to come, but the gauge can be reinstated now ! Top Job!
