了解当前的水文气象状况对于管理极端事件和水资源至关重要。英国水资源门户 (UKWRP) 的开发是为了动态、交互式地访问整个英国的水文气象数据，包括流域每日降雨量（接近）、实时每日平均河流流量、地下水位、实时土壤湿度数据和标准化气候指数。 UKWRP 提供了一种探索全方位河流流量和降雨量变化的方法，包括将当前状况与过去（从干旱到洪水）进行比较。各种不同的绘图功能意味着用户可以根据自己的要求以不同的方式查看和探索数据。在这里，我们讨论了开发 UKWRP 的机制和参与，除了将多个数据源和类型结合在一起的技术问题和解决方案，以及如何处理、存储和发布数据以提供水资源管理的综合工具。 UKWRP 使所有用水者（从农民、自来水公司到公众）能够查看和探索监管机构用于管理供水的数据。我们利用最近的洪水和干旱示例，展示了如何利用 UKWRP 来监测水文状况，并实现一致的消息传递和普遍获取数据和信息。最后，我们讨论了 UKWRP 中提供的信息可以支持的决策以及未来可能的发展。 UKWRP 针对的是英国水研究和管理界，但我们预计该门户网站（以及此处报告的开发路径和技术解决方案）可以为其他国际环境中的类似系统提供有用的范例。
Understanding the current hydro-meteorological situation is critical to manage extreme events and water resources. The United Kingdom Water Resources Portal (UKWRP) has been developed to enable dynamic, interactive access to hydro-meteorological data across the United Kingdom, including catchment daily rainfall (near), real-time daily mean river flows, groundwater levels, real-time soil moisture data, and standardised climate indices. The UKWRP offers a way of exploring the full range of river flow and rainfall variability, including comparing current conditions to those in the past, from droughts to floods. A variety of different plotting capabilities mean users can view and explore data in different ways depending on their requirements. Here we discuss the mechanisms and the engagement undertaken to develop the UKWRP, in addition to the technical issues and solutions of bringing multiple data sources and types together, how the data are processed, stored and published to deliver an integrated tool for water resources management. The UKWRP enables all water users–from farmers, to water companies to members of the general public–to view and explore the data used by regulators to manage water supplies. We demonstrate how the UKWRP can be used to monitor the hydrological situation, using recent examples of both floods and droughts, and enables consistent messaging and universal access to data and information. Finally, we discuss the decisions the information provided in the UKWRP can support, and possible future developments. The UKWRP is aimed at the United Kingdom water research and management community, but we envisage that the Portal (and the development pathway and technical solutions reported here) could provide a useful exemplar for similar systems in other international settings.
