Abstract
Stable operation of the dam and the river is directly related to the life and property of citizens, and hydrological observation data reliability is essential to the safety against disaster. Even though real-time data acquisition with high accuracy is needed for scientific and reliable water resources management, currently operating water gauges installed on the upper and down stream of dams or rivers are not easy to be calibrated or corrected on site to ensure higher reliability. K-water Institute has been operating an international accredited calibration laboratory for flows meters, rainfall and water gauges. Rainfall gauges are calibrated in the fixed standard room or on-site. However, due to the absence of on-site calibration procedure and system, on-site calibration for the water gauges are performed by an external agency. Therefore, a development of standard calibration procedure and system for on-site calibration of water gauges is needed to improve the reliability of observed hydrological data.
