User manuals

After many years of engagement with the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA), Pakistan, CSIRO has collaborated to introduce Australian HYDSTRA* data management software. User manuals are now available:

• HYDSTRA manual for WAPDA
• HYDSTRA manual for WAPDA for climate data processing

*Hydstra/TS is a time-series data management system that provides the tools to build and maintain a first-class time-series data archive.
