Water data in the Netherlands are available via Rijkswaterstaat webservices. In short, there are two web services
- waterbase - contains surface water monitoring data for a lot of parameters.
- data distribution layer service (json for data, wfs for locations) - contains also monitoring data from deeper waters, but limiting number of parameters. In development
- OpenEarth copy of waterbase at Deltares OPeNDAP server - copy of selected parameters from (1), with additional metadata (international standards)
This package aims to provide functions to easily connect to these services and download.
It is under development
-
waterbase functions
-
data distribution layer services

- rws_metadata - gets catalogue of all locations, depths, parameters
- rws_observations - gets observation data
