This dataset provides comprehensive hydrometeorological data from South Korea, sourced through the WAMIS Open API. It includes hourly, daily, and monthly records of precipitation, water levels, meteorological conditions, river flow rates, and suspended sediment loads. The data is collected from various stations across South Korea and is regularly updated to support environmental monitoring, research, and water resource management. Users can access real-time and historical data, making this dataset valuable for climate studies, hydrological modeling, and infrastructure planning.

This catalog includes the following data resources:

Hourly Precipitation Data: Precipitation levels recorded every hour over the last 3 days.

Daily Precipitation Data: Daily precipitation measurements covering the last 3 months.

Monthly Precipitation Data: Monthly precipitation data spanning the last 3 years.

Hourly Water Level Data: Water level data recorded hourly for various rivers, updated every 3 hours.

Daily Water Level Data: Daily water level records from the last 3 months for multiple stations.

Hourly Meteorological Data: Hourly meteorological data including temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation.

Daily Meteorological Data: Daily meteorological summaries, ideal for longer-term climate analysis.

Daily River Flow Rate Data: Daily records of river flow rates for the current year.

Suspended Sediment Load Data: Information on sediment load concentrations and flow rates over the last 3 years.

The SIDS viewer provides groundwater related information on Small Island Developing States. At present the system contains mainly information derived from the Transboundary Waters Assessment Program (TWAP) on 43 SIDS. The data include indicators describing the hydrogeological, environmental, socio-economic and governance dimensions of the SIDS groundwater systems.

The data have been derived from questionnaire surveys and an extensive desk-top study executed by the Simon Frasier University (Canada) and coordinated by UNESCO-IHP. Data in the system can be explored and analysed using a map based viewer, which is particularly useful to make comparative analyses of multiple SIDS. Additionally SIDS information sheets are also available providing clear overviews per SIDS. Further data on SIDS will be collected and uploaded into the SIDS viewer as they become available.

For any queries or comments on the SIDS data and information, please visit our SIDS Focal Area page. (https://www.un-igrac.org/areas-expertise/small-island-developing-states-sids)

Recognizing the value of transboundary water systems and the fact that many of them continue to be degraded and managed in fragmented ways, the Global Environment Facility Transboundary Water Assessment Programme (GEF TWAP) was developed. The Programme aims to provide a baseline assessment that identifies and evaluates changes in these water systems caused by human activities and natural processes, and the consequences such have on dependant human populations. The project is the first truly global comparative assessment for transboundary aquifers, lakes, rivers and large marine ecosystems, as well as a thematic evaluation of the open ocean, through institutional partnerships that hope to seed future global assessments. The project results are envisioned to assist the GEF and other international organizations in setting priorities for supporting the conservation of transboundary water systems. More information on TWAP including final reports can be found on www.geftwap.org

This portal gives access to the map based results from the Groundwater component of the Transboundary Waters Assessment Programme. The data shown in this portal have been made available by national experts from countries involved in the TWAP Groundwater project. It also includes the results from scenario analyses using the global WaterGAP model (University of Frankfurt, Germany) and a study on groundwater systems of small island developing states, also called SIDS (Simon Frasier University, Canada). More information on TWAP Groundwater, including reports on methodology and outcomes, can be found on www.twap.isarm.org

Large-sample datasets are essential in hydrological science to support modelling studies and global assessments. The present dataset compiles all freshwater quality data that is available under open data policy (CC BY 4.0 or equivalent) at the GEMStat database for global water quality (www.gemstat.org). It includes over 20,000,000 measurements on 608 water quality parameters, covering 13,660 stations in 37 countries over the time period from 1906 to 2023.

GEMStat is operated by the GEMS/Water programme of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and hosted at the International Centre for Water Resources and Global Change (ICWRGC) and the German Federal Institute of Hydrology (BfG). The data in GEMStat is provided by National Hydrological Services of UN member states.

This 5 km resolution grid presents groundwater storage in Africa (in mm). This parameter was estimated by combining the saturated aquifer thickness and effective porosity of aquifers across Africa. For each aquifer flow/storage type an effective porosity range was assigned based on a series of studies across Africa and surrogates in other parts of the world. Groundwater storage is given in millimeters. Detailed description of the methodology, and a full list of data sources used to develop the layer can be found in the peer-reviewed paper available here: http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/7/2/024009/pdfThe raster and a high resolution PDF file are available for download on the website of British Geological Survey (BGS): http://www.bgs.ac.uk/research/groundwater/international/africanGroundwater/mapsDownload.html

This dataset includes pdf versions of presentations delivered during all sessions of the Water Family Symposium: Opening Session / Session 1: Scientific contribution of the Water Family / Session 2: Contribution of the Water Family to Capacity Development / Session 3: Contribution of the Water Family to Capacity Development.
