Abstract

River discharge information is crucial for various applications, but the measurement process often remains impeded by factors that hinder near real-time (NRT) data availability in India. However, leveraging telemetry-based water surface elevation (WSE) data across the country provides an opportunity to convert it into river discharge. This conversion is made possible by utilizing rating curves (RCs) derived from historical collocated measurements of WSE and discharge. In this study, NRT WSE from the Central Water Commission (CWC) flood portal is obtained via the web-scraping tool. Through the application of RCs, discharge data is extended across 210 gauging stations in India from the year 2020 to the present, encompassing sub-daily discharge during the non-monsoon and hourly discharge series during monsoon (June-September) across the Indian rivers. Annually, the study generated over 800,000 discharge data points for Indian rivers, accounting for more than 4000 discharge measurements per station annually. These comprehensive datasets provide valuable insights for water resource and flood management research, offering NRT access to WSE, and discharge, along with the local RCs.
