About The Project

An exploratory data analysis on river flow and rainfall at Bathford gauging station on the River Avon.

Project Aims

This is my first independent project and was intended as a learning exercise to practise version control, use an IDE and learn GitHub's features.

If you are a beginner, my Jupyter NoteBook outlines the tasks I completed for each step of the project and the project's wiki has more background information on the resources and tools I found helpful.

Packages & Data

Packages:

import pandas as pd       # For data manipulation and analysis
import numpy as np        # For numerical computing
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  # For static data visualization
import seaborn as sns     # For statistical data visualization

Data:

Future Work

• Use linear regressions to build and evaluate a predictive model

• Improve visualizations and explore interactive features through plotly

• Use APIs to update project dataset with most recent observations - this might require choosing a new observation station for my project.
