#GaugeOfTheWeek: Camel at Bodmin Dunmere. A transit time velocity gauge with radar level sensor on the bridge. Flow data used for #Flood Warnings and monitoring the River Camel, a 🇪🇺 designated SAC due to fish, otters, bullheads and river geomorphology. #Hydrometry
Beefing up our microrenewables at Off Grid gauging stations. These will increase resilience and ensure our data feeds are always on for flood risk and Water Resources needs.
Thanks to @DCfieldteamsEA for helping make this happen!
A great day of reports on new and overhauled raingauges from across Devon and Cornwall. Ready for the winter rains and their vital role in warning and informing of flooding
Thanks to all @DCfieldteamsEA for making the magic happen as always! @HydrometryEA@EnvAgencySW
Real job satisfaction checking in with @EnvAgencySW@DCfieldteamsEA as they withdraw from the works at Gwills Gauging Station. New hut, micro renewables, bat and pollinator box and in stream sensor housing. Bravo to them!
Media interest is rising as our rivers are falling. Fantastic work by Devon & Cornwall #hydrometry team showing the BBC how we monitor the water environment to ensure accurate flow data is reported and comparisons to the long term data managed by hydrometry can be made.

Thanks so much to @DCfieldteamsEA for bringing it alive. Beautiful site with the Irises too!
Hastily prepared for a meeting, but a good impression of last years projects for @EnvAgencySW@HydrometryEA. Several delivered by the excellent @DCfieldteamsEA. Thanks to everyone involved, these will help us protect the environment & reduce flood risk to local communities

Busy time of year as we reckon up the accounts from the year just gone, the clock resets and then we start again.
Important to reflect on achievements to date, so an opportune look at Heligan raingauge improved by @DCfieldteamsEA - great to see!

Today we are celebrating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science! We're proud to have so many inspiring women working in Hydrometry at the Environment Agency. #WomeninScience#WomeninSTEM#WomeninHydrometry
A great way to close the week out- checking in with @EnvAgencySW@DCfieldteamsEA building the new hut at Crowford. All looking too draw… the final touches to put the cherry on top next week. Thanks as ever to them
With a changing climate we expect more extreme weather leading to increased flood events. Our #Hydrometry role is to detect, warn and provide data to reduce the impact of floods on people and their property. #WorldRiversDay
Always great to see the hard work and practical skill of @EnvAgencySW@DCfieldteamsEA. The paperwork and planning become reality as they build the new hut for Crowford Bridge Gauging Station. Cant wait to see it installed on site, thanks to all involved!
It’s a group effort for our #WomenInHydrometry series this week! Meet Awesome Foursome of Michelle, Jemima, Kerryn & Suzanne - with combined Hydrometric experience of 45yrs! They are using the latest SonTek rQPOD tech to measure river flows in Cornwall @EnvAgencySW#womeninSTEM
