Open-access data and tools to understand hydrological extremes

The FDRI digital platform will make reliable, near real-time hydrological data available to all, including researchers, local authorities and citizen scientists. We want FDRI data to enable resilient solutions to floods and droughts, from accurate modelling to evidencing nature-based approaches.


Alongside integrating key datasets from across the UK, FDRI will deliver live data from three observatory catchments: the Upper Severn, Upper Tweed and the Chess, providing in-depth whole-catchment data insights. Watch this video to find out more.
