Title: the water office
Post by: santefe on September 23, 2014, 07:48:08 PM

Is it just me or is the Water Office site for river levels just not working?

Plus much of the old data is gone.  I can't see river levels before 2013 for the Vedder.

^^ ya that's lame I usually look up the days that were really good fishing and compare the levels.

Hopefully it is only a hiccup with the transfer.

I haven't noticed much of a difference with the new site.
Guess I never noticed the missing past water levels as I always write down when fish is best, at what heights, etc.

If I remember correctly, the previous river level site only has data dated back a couple of years only anyway.

I just like to know the water levels before I head out to the river.
Tried the web site again but still does not show the data.
Sent an email to the contact the minister.
I won't hold my breath waiting for the reply.

I don't have any problems viewing data.

No problems using the new site but I also preferred the old version.

It is quite a bit slower than the old site but all my existing station lists still exist and the visualization looks as good or better than the old one.
It took awhile to find it but here is the link.

No comment on the old historical data.
