Cantonal & private gauging stations (HADES 5.1.2)
This dataset provides the locations of hydrometric gauging stations operated by Swiss cantons (source dataset "KANTON") and by private owners (source dataset "HADES"), as documented in sheet 5.1.2 of the HADES Hydrological Atlas of Switzerland. The data was collected in 2000 and the station designations correspond directly to those used in the HADES Atlas. Additional attributes describing each station, such as identifiers and measurement parameters, are included alongside the geographic coordinates. The dataset is published by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (BAFU) and is useful for hydrological research, water resource monitoring, and cross-referencing station networks across cantonal and private operators in Switzerland.”This set of data represents the locations of hydrometric gauging stations belonging to cantons (data source: “KANTON”) and private owners (data source: “HADES”). The data was collected in 2000. The figures entered correspond to the designation in the HADES Atlas sheet 5.1.2. Further attributes of t…
