Extended hydrometric (water level and flow) records are presented for eight Irish catchments subject to arterial drainage. The procedures employed to collect and process historical data, extend flow records and compile key metadata and information about each gauging station are described. Procedures are developed to handle data quality issues related to hydrometric practices and equipment malfunction and to quality assure rescued data using quality codes that complement modern hydrometric practices. The workflow developed will assist other hydrometric data rescue efforts and minimize subjectivity during the rescue process. The newly extended records represent the longest continuous river flow series available in Ireland, extending to the commencement of formal hydrometric monitoring in the country in 1940. The resultant data sets add 150 years of daily data across eight stations and will provide a key new resource for hydrological studies into the impacts of arterial drainage and flow nonstationarity.

水文数据抢救和河流流量记录的扩展：方法开发及其在干流排水改造流域中的应用

提供了八个爱尔兰干流排水流域的扩展水文测量（水位和流量）记录。描述了用于收集和处理历史数据、扩展流量记录以及编译关键元数据和有关每个测量站的信息的程序。开发程序是为了处理与水文测量实践和设备故障相关的数据质量问题，并使用补充现代水文测量实践的质量代码来确保救援数据的质量。开发的工作流程将协助其他水文测量数据救援工作，并最大限度地减少救援过程中的主观性。新扩展的记录代表了爱尔兰可用的最长的连续河流流量系列，一直延续到该国 1940 年开始正式水文监测。由此产生的数据集添加了 8 个站点 150 年的每日数据，并将为爱尔兰提供重要的新资源。对动脉排水和流量非平稳性影响的水文学研究。
