veetasemed
Veetasemed is the Estonian term for water levels. In hydrology, veetasemed refer to the vertical position of a water body's surface relative to a reference level. They are used to describe the water level in rivers, lakes, seas, and groundwater, and are essential for flood risk assessment, navigation, and ecosystem management.
Measurement and units: Veetasemed are monitored by hydrometric networks using devices such as staff gauges, pressure
Factors affecting veetasemed: precipitation, snowmelt, evaporation, and surface runoff change surface water levels; tides, storm surges,
Applications: Flood forecasting and warning, water resource management, irrigation planning, hydropower operations, and studies of aquatic
Data quality and challenges: Observations may be intermittent in remote areas; measurement uncertainty and changes in
