Overview

Real-time water level and discharge at Canadian Columbia basin gauges, including the Columbia River Treaty reservoirs.

Query contract

Preserve one canonical row per (station_number, event_time) before aggregating.

Analysis rules

  • Level (m) and discharge (m3/s) are separate columns; lake gauges report level only.

Interpretation

  • Attribution to ECCC and the contributing agency is required.
