Long‐term, high‐frequency river height measurements provide a direct method of relating changes in local water availability in a catchment to such phenomena as climate and changes in land use. Here, digitized weekly river height data from the Murrumbidgee River at Hay in south eastern Australia are presented for the first time covering the start of record from November 1873 to June 2017. There are two gauge board locations: (a) The town gauge at the southern edge of the township with data until March 1983, and (b) the Hay Private Irrigation District (PID) gauge on the north eastern outskirts of Hay about 2 km upstream from the Hay town gauge. There is a data overlap of about 13 years for the two locations. The underlying data quality is good taking into account missing values, outliers, continuity between the two gauge locations and measurement practice. The weekly data are available in both annual and seasonal files.

1873–2017年澳大利亚干草东部每周Murrumbidgee河高地的数字化

长期的高频河高测量提供了一种直接方法，将流域内局部水资源的变化与气候和土地利用变化等现象联系起来。在这里，首次显示了澳大利亚东南部干草地的Murrumbidgee河的每周河高数字化数据，涵盖了记录开始于1873年11月至2017年6月。有两个标尺板位置：（a）直到1983年3月为止的数据，都位于该镇的南部边缘；（b）位于Hay东北规约上游2 km处Hay东北郊的Hay私人灌溉区（PID）规。两个地点的数据重叠时间约为13年。考虑到缺失值，离群值，两个量规位置和测量实践之间的连续性。每周和年度数据都可用。
