titleMore about WIWB

WIWB is the Dutch national database for storage and dissemination of weather related data, specifically for the Dutch water sector. It has been developed in 2017 by HydroLogic, HKV and HydroConsult for Het Waterschapshuis, a national body that represents all Dutch water boards. The WIWB database is based on the HydroNET platform (www.hydronet.com) and offers a REST API for retrieving data and metadata. WIWB contains weather observations and forecasts, based on weather stations, meteorological radar data and numerical weather models.

WIWB is intended for professional use only by Dutch water boards. It is not intended for public or commercial use. Only officials from Dutch water boards can request access to the WIWB API. More information on specifications and use of the WIWB API can be requested from the WWIB helpdesk (helpdesk@hydrologic.com) or in the attached document (V4V5.0)


Info

Access to the WIWIB API is limited to the regional water authorities in the Netherlands and can be requested from the Waterschapshuis Water (HWH) by sending an e-mail to mr. Willem Aberson. Please list the following items in your e-mail

  • Organisation name

    • Systems to be connected to the API

Technical instructions about the WIWB API can be found in the attached document (V4V5.0)

titleHTTPS and client.truststore

Access to the WIWIB API is done using a secure HTTPS connection. If a FEWS configuration is used with a client.truststore it may be required (for FEWS versions older than 2018.02) to import the latest public certificate of the WIWB service into the existing client.truststore. For more information on configuring secure HTTPS connection with a client.truststore, see How to configure secure https connection to Matroos
