Have you ever started a project, or stumbled upon a gauge while investigating an area, and had to spend hours finding the flow data? Ever wished you could understand the approximate flood frequency peaks in just a few seconds?
If so, check out our new dashboard for flood frequency analysis (FFA) on Water Survey of Canada (WSC) gauges. Developed with R Shiny, this dashboard allows you to:
- select a WSC gauge by number (active or inactive)
- select between the GEV and Gumbel distributions for fitting annual daily peaks
- with a click, view the number of data points, the common return period peaks, and a plot of the annual peaks
While this tool is not a replacement for a proper analysis of the data and a check on the underlying assumptions such as non-stationarity, the tool does allow for a quick view of the data and return period peaks at a click of a button, and can save a lot of time at the high-level check stage of a project.
Are you interested in working with us to build or host your own shiny apps, or other workflows? Drop us a line in our contact form and get in touch.
