Reached a milestone: DAHITI provides hydrological data for 10,000 targets worldwide

Sea level change in the Arctic Ocean: The map illustrates the strong regional differences.

The Database for Hydrological Time Series of Inland Waters (DAHITI) of DGFI-TUM provides free hydrological information for meanwhile 10,000 inland waters distributed worldwide. For rivers, lakes, reservoirs and wetlands, it provides water levels, area and volume changes based on satellite data in near-real-time.

With several thousand registered users and more than two hundred thousand downloads in recent years, DAHITI is a widely used data source for numerous applications in science and practice. The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) lists the data base as an openly accessible data source for the Essential Climate Variable (ECV) "Lakes". To date, DAHITI provides water level and water extent for more than 1400 lakes and reservoirs, continuously and automatically updated with the latest satellite information.
