| Collecting and processing hydrometric data is a key component of effective hydroelectric operations. All the sophisticated computer models used for operational forecasting are compromised without good quality input data. Data quality can be improved by better data acquisition methods, more resources directed towards maintaining equipment, increasing the data collection network, or by more thorough data processing. Making the best use of resources to improve data quality is a problem faced by all hydroelectric operational managers. Another important aspect of Data Management is appropriate data quality efforts depending on the end use of the data. Data quality requirements for real-time operations in small responsive basins may be different than the requirements for seasonal forecasts of larger basins. Whatever the final use of the data, targeting the data quality program based on the end use ensures appropriate allocation of resources. The CEA Technologies Inc. (CEATI) Hydraulic Integrated Resource Management Interest Group (HIRMIG) has been collaborating on data quality issues for a number of years. Recently, the group has entered into discussions with the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) to find ways of sharing information and joint planning of the network. The participation of MSC in this workshop is a reflection of this increased cooperation. This workshop brings together leading experts to share current practices, discuss the state of the art data collection technologies for the interest of hydro and plan future cooperation in data management. Workshop themes include: - Data collection - Data Processing - Data Uses - Impacts of data quality - Data Collection Networks This two-day workshop comprised of 22 presentations.
