Modernisation and Extension of Hydrologic Monitoring Systems Program

The objective of the $80 million Program is to assist water information collectors to modernise and extend their water monitoring systems. This will enhance the accuracy and transfer of real-time data to the internet.

2009/10 highest priority projects - WDTF

The Funding Guidelines (PDF) outline eight Project Themes that will be considered for funding. Theme 4 is our highest priority for funding in this current round. Theme 4 includes projects that enable data management systems to transfer data to the Bureau using the Water Data Transfer Format (WDTF).

Water Transfer Data Transfer Format (WDTF) is our preferred mode of data delivery and we are promoting this as the standard format for the transfer of water data. The WDTF will facilitate the transfer of Time Series data and Metadata.
