Water Data Transfer Format (original) (raw)

Water Data Transfer Format (WDTF) is a data delivery standard implemented by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) that was jointly developed with the CSIRO. The standard, released in 2009, specifies both the format of and the techniques used to deliver Australian water data measurements to the BoM. The Water Act 2007 (Cth) requires some private organisations and government agencies in Australia that collect water data and to deliver it to the BoM according to the WDTF standard. The use of WDTF is an example of work in the field of irrigation informatics.
