@johnoflynnEA @hantsconnect @TestValleyBC Crikey the water levels are close to that telemetry cabinet! Hopefully the kit inside is towards the top!!

[Will Hancock @xrunnerwill]

@JamesWimpress @CBWPS1 It’s always exciting coming across them. Where was this?

[Will Hancock @xrunnerwill]

@LanhydrockNT #lanhydrock tonight. Lovely

[Will Hancock @xrunnerwill]

@DCfieldteamsEA keep rolling out the raingauge upgrades despite named storms and miserable conditions!

This one at Lanreath should be good for years to come. Thanks so much. @HydrometryEA

[Will Hancock @xrunnerwill]

Great work from our ⁦@DCfieldteamsEA⁩ and ⁦@HydrometryEA⁩ teams to get this raingauge back to full health….

[Will Hancock @xrunnerwill]

Good work Cornwall Hydrometry - providing data that forms the back bone of our flood incident management systems… thanks to all concerned!

[HydrometryEA @HydrometryEA]

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.

@Robostski @EnvAgencySW @DCfieldteamsEA You will remember the site 😀

[Will Hancock @xrunnerwill]

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

[Will Hancock @xrunnerwill]

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!

[Will Hancock @xrunnerwill]

@nickspics1 @DCfieldteamsEA @HydrometryEA This one is 3x3 now I think

[Will Hancock @xrunnerwill]

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!

[Will Hancock @xrunnerwill]

@nickspics1 @DCfieldteamsEA @HydrometryEA Got it in one.
Everything takes longer to deliver now, so prevention is better than cure!

[Will Hancock @xrunnerwill]

@nickspics1 @DCfieldteamsEA @HydrometryEA Let’s just say it’s been expanding in response to maintenance ‘issues’. Preventative measures buying time!

[Will Hancock @xrunnerwill]

@Robostski @DCfieldteamsEA @HydrometryEA will be escorting you back over the border for that!!

[Will Hancock @xrunnerwill]

How it looked before!

[Will Hancock @xrunnerwill]

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

[Will Hancock @xrunnerwill]

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

[Will Hancock @xrunnerwill]

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!

[Will Hancock @xrunnerwill]

@HydrometryEA @EnvAgencyAnglia The use of Andy’s tripod for the tough book makes me smile every time. Great hack!
