BoM water online

Session Info

BoM has an online portal to download water data, such as watercourse levels, storage volume, etc. It would be very useful to be able to query water data by using a similar command as "get_historical" for climate records. Opposite to climate data, the water portal offers the possibility to download all the available records for a specific station since starting operating. Hence, it is possible to build datasets with long-term measurements to produce and analyse time series. http://www.bom.gov.au/waterdata

Thanks, Dario! We'll look into this.

I noticed the package bomWater. You should have a discussion to see whether a coordination is possible.

From the README

This package has been archived due to BOM's ongoing unwillingness to allow programmatic access to their data and actively blocking any attempts made using this package or other similar efforts.
