<br /> Appendix - ColoradoWater HBGuest Data Store - 1 <br /> <br />Appendix: Colorado Water HydroBase Guest <br />(ColoradoWater HBGuest ) Data Store <br />20 1 2 -0 5 -15 <br />Overview <br /> <br />The State of Colorado’s HydroBase database is the primary database for water data in Colorado. <br />However, using the HydroBase input type in TSTool (see the Hyd roBase Input Type appendix) requires <br />a direct connection to the database, and a local installation of the database may not be available. T he <br />ColoradoWater HBGuest data store provides internet web service access to historical data and is described <br />here : <br /> <br />http://www.dwr.state.co.us/HBGuest/Documents/ColoradoHBGuestWebService.pdf <br />http://www.dwr.state.co.us/HBGuest/Documents/HBGuestWebService Objects.pdf <br />http://www.dwr.state.co.us/HBGuest/default.aspx <br /> <br />T he ColoradoWaterHBGuest data store is being enhanced to read all time series that are available via the <br />web service, but currently there are some limitations (see below). <br /> <br />The ColoradoWaterSMS data store (see the Colorado Water SMS Data Store appendix) provides access <br />to real -time data using a web service. <br /> <br />ColoradoWater HBGuest Web Ser vice and Standard Time Series Properties <br /> <br />The standard time series identifier format for ColoradoWater HBGuest time series is of the form: <br /> <br /> Location.DataSource.DataType.Interval~DataStoreName <br /> <br />The meaning of the parts is as follows: <br /> <br />• The Location is set to the State of Colorado’s water district identifier (WDID) for structures . <br />• The DataSource is set to the providing agency (e.g., DWR for diversion data). <br />• The DataType is set to the “measurement type ” described in the State’s web service documentation <br />(e.g., DivTota l for total diversions through a structure). Refer to the HydroBase Input Type <br />appendix for a full list of time series data available in HydroBase. In some cases, the data type used <br />by TSTool will not exactly match HydroBase. For example, TSTool uses ResMeasStorage and <br />HydroBase uses ResMeas to indicate reservoir measurements, which can contain several <br />observations. The additional “Storage” is needed in TSTool to uniquely identify the time series for <br />the specific data type. <br />• Interval i s Day , Month , or Year , as requested. The interval string is converted from HydroBase <br />conventions of Daily , Monthly , Annual , and Random (monthly and annual diversion data are <br />stored together in HydroBase and are identified as Annual data ). Real -time data can be retr ieved <br />using the ColoradoWaterSMS data store. <br />• The data store name (ColoradoWater HBGuest by default) indicates that the data are being read <br />from the ColoradoWater HBGuest web service. <br /> <br />15
