Abstract

Purpose

Stage Discharge measurements and metadata for 1091 stage discharge measurements made from 1909 to 1986 were extracted from paper records and combined with the 387 made between 1987 and 2015 that were available in electronic form. Measurements had been recorded in Imperial units from 1909 to 1976; these were extracted and put into electronic form and then converted to metric units.
