Affinity launches environmental data portal for the public

Affinity Water has launched an Environmental Data Web Portal, which provides public access to open-source environmental data.

Information is available for Affinity’s three geographic areas relating to groundwater levels, rainfall, river flows, lake levels and catchment management monitoring.

Users can explore over two decades of environmental data sourced from over 650 locations via a map where they can identify historic and close-to-present data trends. This includes updates on the status of the chalk aquifer, chalk stream flows and rainfall conditions.

Data can also be exported and then used for non-commercial purposes.

The company said: “With this innovative initiative, Affinity Water is getting out front and demonstrating its commitment to transparency and sustainability.”
