Introduction

About The Project

An exploratory data analysis on river flow and rainfall at Bathford gauging station on the River Avon.

Bathford Station

Project Aims

This is my first independent project and was intended as a learning exercise to practise version control, use an IDE and learn GitHub’s features.

If you are a beginner, my Jupyter NoteBook outlines the tasks I completed for each step of the project and the project’s wiki has more background information on the resources and tools I found helpful.

Project Synopsis

Step 1: Data Collection

Step 2: Cleaning the Data

Step 3: Exploratory Data Analysis

Step 4: Concluding Report

Step 5: Future Goals

Packages & Data

Packages:

import pandas as pd       # For data manipulation and analysis
import numpy as np        # For numerical computing
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  # For static data visualization
import seaborn as sns     # For statistical data visualization

Data:

  • Source: National River Flow Archive (UK)
  • Usage: Gauged Daily Glow and Catchment Daily Rainfall for Bathford Station on the River Avon.
  • Format: CSV files downloaded from the National River Flow Archive’s website.

Future Work

  • Use linear regressions to build and evaluate a predictive model

  • Improve visualizations and explore interactive features through plotly

  • Use APIs to update project dataset with most recent observations - this might require choosing a new observation station for my project.
