The process of harmonising the content of this dataset (both flow peaks and gauging station metadata) with information already held on the NRFA began in autumn 2013. The data harmonisation has been completed for key metadata, including: station numbers, river names, station names, geographical locations, station types and station descriptions.
While the station descriptions and other metadata have been harmonised, the overall process is still ongoing. Users should be aware that metadata not yet integrated is presented on the ‘Station info’ tab of NRFA station pages, marked with an *.
Station Number Changes
As a result of the data harmonisation a significant number of changes were made to this metadata. This page does not detail all changes, however, where the NRFA station number previously given on the HiFlows-UK website has been modified, the corrections are listed below:
Changes to the NRFA Gauging Station Numbers:
| NRFA Station Number | NRFA Station Name | NRFA Station Number given on HiFlows-UK website | Reason for Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 27088 | Calder at Mytholmroyd | 27201 | During the migration of HiFlows-UK to the NRFA, the NRFA station reference given on HiFlows-UK (27201) was found to be incorrect and has been updated. Calder at Mytholmroyd already exists on the NRFA as station number 27088. |
| 27092 | Esk at Briggswath | 27206 | During the migration of HiFlows-UK to the NRFA, the NRFA station reference given on HiFlows-UK (27206) was found to be incorrect and has been updated. Esk at Briggswath exists on the NRFA as station number 27092. |
| 33020 | Alconbury Brook at Brampton | 33080 | During the migration of HiFlows-UK to the NRFA, the NRFA station reference given on HiFlows-UK (33080) was found to be incorrect and has been updated. HiFlows-UK held the series under two separate stations when the structure had been replaced, while the NRFA holds Alconbury Brook at Brampton as one series, with a station number 33020. |
33030 | Clipstone Brook at Clipstone | 33090 | During the migration of HiFlows-UK to the NRFA, the NRFA station reference given on HiFlows-UK (33090) was found to be incorrect and has been updated. Clipstone Brook at Clipstone already exists on the NRFA as station number 33020. |
| 44013 | Piddle at Little Puddle | 44809 | During the migration of HiFlows-UK to the NRFA, the NRFA station reference given on HiFlows-UK (44809) was found to be out of date and has been updated. Piddle at Little Puddle exists on the NRFA as station number 44013. |
| 44014 | Piddle at Briantspuddle | 44810 | During the migration of HiFlows-UK to the NRFA, the NRFA station reference given on HiFlows-UK (44810) was found to be out of date and has been updated. Piddle at Briantspuddle exists on the NRFA as station number 44014. |
| 47025 | Wolf at Germansweek | 47805 | During the migration of HiFlows-UK to the NRFA, the NRFA station reference given on HiFlows-UK (47805) was found to be out of date and has been updated. Wolf at Germansweek exists on the NRFA as station number 47025. |
| 64002 | Dysynni at Dysynni | 64012 | During the migration of HiFlows-UK to the NRFA, the NRFA station reference given on HiFlows-UK (64012) was found to be incorrect and has been updated. Dysynni at Dysynni exists on the NRFA as station number 64002. |
| 73017 | Kent at Bowston | 73016 | During the migration of HiFlows-UK to the NRFA, the NRFA station reference given on HiFlows-UK (73016) was found to be incorrect and has been updated. This station number is already in use on the NRFA (Trout Beck at Calgarth). Therefore a new station number of 73017 was given to Kent at Bowston following the conventional station numbering system. |
| 76017 | Eden at Great Corby | 76810 | During the migration of HiFlows-UK to the NRFA, the NRFA station reference given on HiFlows-UK (76810) was found to be out of date and has been updated. Eden at Great Corby exists on the NRFA as station number 76017. |
| 83013 | Irvine at Glenfield | 83802 | During the migration of HiFlows-UK to the NRFA, the NRFA station reference given on HiFlows-UK (83802) was found to be out of date and has been updated. Irvine at Glenfield exists on the NRFA with station number 83013. |
| 89004 | Strae at Glen Strae | 89804 | During the migration of HiFlows-UK to the NRFA, the NRFA station reference given on HiFlows-UK (89804) was found to be out of date and has been updated. Strae at Glen Strae exists on the NRFA as station number 89004. |
| 205034 | Woodburn at Control | 205999 | During the migration of HiFlows-UK to the NRFA, the NRFA station reference given on HiFlows-UK (205999) was found to be incorrect and has been updated. Station did not previously exist on the NRFA, so it has been given a station number of 205034 following the conventional station numbering system. |
