Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Develop rating curves
   • Analyse existing measurements to establish trends and compare with existing ratings
   • Identify events at monitoring site that can affect stage discharge curve
   • Identify sources of error in ratings
   • Confirm and verify existing trends whilst developing rating curves
   • Identify and define new trends whilst developing rating curves
   • Develop rating curves in compliance with industry and stakeholder requirements
   • Use theoretical methods to create and extend ratings
   • Document processes and observations to provide traceability and accountability for quality assurance
   • Apply standard formulae to create ratings for pre-calibrated measuring structures
