Efficient data acquisition methods can save time and money in field
measurements. As most field data in aquatic systems is time
dependent, it is important to minimize sampling errors as
measurements for a certain time and place cannot be re-taken. For
larger measurement campaigns with different teams at distributed
sampling sites, information about data from other teams as well as
environmental data like gauge, tidal or upstream weather information
could help to interpret measurement results already on site. We
propose WODCA (Water Observation Data Collecting Application), a
mobile, online measurement support system. The measurements are sent
wirelessly to a geographic database that provides back an integrated
view on already taken measurements of all mobile parties, augmented
with online environmental data like gauge data or tidal information.
This eases the collaboration between different mobile measurement
teams. GPS integration and map based data input can help to avoid
location errors. The proposed system could assist materially in the
improvement of field data quality and sampling comfort.
