Dataset

River gauges and flood status

Live water-level readings from state and territory water-monitoring networks and the BoM flood-warning network, joined to the Bureau of Meteorology flood classification thresholds for each gauge. Every threshold is traceable to a BoM document, and a flood class is only derived where the gauge datum has been verified against BoM per-gauge pages; otherwise the level is published and honestly labelled unclassified.

Coverage
Gauges on the state water portals we poll plus the BoM flood-warning network; every gauge record states its source, its staleness horizon and whether a published flood class exists.
Freshness
Realtime networks within 24 hours, BoM daily series within 72 hours; a reading outside its horizon is reported stale, never as a current class.
Provenance
State water agencies and the Bureau of Meteorology, identified per gauge; classification source and version recorded on every gauge.
Access
Every plan, including free.
