Marlborough District Council hydrologists hydrology@marlborough.govt.nz 
monitor rainfall, river flows and groundwater levels, analyse data and provide information and advice to groups both inside and outside the council. Their work includes flood prediction and flood-monitoring network maintenance.
The council maintains a network of rainfall monitoring sites using electronic technology. Data is transmitted direct to the Council's Blenheim office.
Up to date rainfall data can be accessed through the menu at the left of your screen. A map showing rainfall-monitoring sites can be used to display graphs and tables showing the most recently collected rainfall data. This information is updated three times daily (1.00 am, 7.00 am and 7.00 pm) on weekdays and also at 1.00 pm on weekends. Information is also updated more regularly during heavy rain events.
The data displayed is received directly from the council's rain gauges via radio or cell phone. At times, due to technical difficulties, data may be incorrect, or not completely up to date.
Caution should be exercised if using data for decisions that may concern public safety, or the conduct of business that involves monetary or operational consequences.
