Digitization of Hydrological Water-Level Recorder Charts

Summary

The State Office for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Geology of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is procuring the digitization of historical hydrological water-level recorder charts from approximately 148 stations, comprising about 54,893 linear metres, including around 120,000 charts up to A3 size and 1,000 larger charts. The work includes collection in Güstrow, secure transport and storage, colour scanning, indexing, automated extraction and quantification of measurement curves, validation, and delivery of digital charts and time series through secure online storage; the original documents must then be returned. The project is expected to run for six months and includes project management, with optional extended validation, additional processing of selected charts, and online-storage extensions.
