Northern Ireland Water Level Data - DfI Rivers#
DfI Rivers have a network of 130 active hydrometric stations across Northern Ireland. This information is critical in cross border river catchments between Ireland and Northern Ireland. In terms of coastal observations, they monitor the coastal water level network which involves liaising with the UK Met Office and UK Coastal Flood Forecasting counterparts to identify problematic storm surges which can raise sea levels and cause flooding.
