Vigicrues - Hauteurs et débits des cours d’eauVigicrues - River water levels and flow rates
This API provides continuous, near real-time data from the Vigicrues network, which monitors water levels and flow rates of rivers across France through roughly 1,700 remote telemetry measurement points. It includes recent evolution of these measurements over the past days and hours, allowing tracking of river conditions and flood-related indicators. The dataset is published via the Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropolis open-data portal and mirrors data also visualized on the national Vigicrues website, which is dedicated to flood monitoring and warning across French river basins.Le réseau Vigicrues collecte en continue les niveaux d’eau et les débits des cours d’eau observés en temps réel sur près de 1700 points de mesure télétransmis, ainsi que leurs évolutions au cours des derniers jours et des dernières heures. Ces mesures sont visualisables sur le site Vigicrues : le...
