Southland Regional Council, NZ uses web cameras and STIV technology for real-time flood data

Southland Regional Council, NZ STIV Web Cameras Flood Data

Complete

Council teams struggled with evaluating river levels in areas made inaccessible by flooding. A network of web cameras gathers real-time footage of local rivers for analysis. Space-Time Image Velocimetry (STIV) gathered by cameras and drones measures river flows in cubic meters per second. Southland Regional Council's new approach to river flow measurement reduces the need for risky inspections during storms and improves flood alert timeliness.
