There are several sources for water quality data in Brusdalsvatnet and other Norwegian water bodies. The initial goal of this project is to integrate data from the public "Vannmiljø" site maintained by Miljødirektoratet with other offline sources so that they can be used for modeling training and evaluation.
The main challenge is the variety of measurements, including different parameters, sampling methods, sampling locations and depths, and analysis methods. Most measurements are collected in discrete, limited campaigns without long-term consistency.

a.MiljoScraper.py (under development): This is a placeholder for exporting data of interest from the VannMiljø API. Eventually this function may be configured to automatically check for new data, or as a more powerful search tool than the limited GUI available at https://vannmiljo.miljodirektoratet.no/ .

b.VisualizeSamples.py: Reads measurement data from .csv files, applies filtering and unit conversion. Generates interactive time series figures, as well as interactive map of measurements per parameter per location after filtering (both as .html).
