Lent Term 2025, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge
Your team has been tasked with building the computational backend (library) to a new real-time flood warning system for England. The library should:
- Fetch real-time river level data over the Internet from the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs data service.
- Support specified data query types on river level monitoring stations.
- Analyse monitoring station data in order to assess flood risks, and issue flood warnings for areas of the country.
The mandated development practices are listed in the :ref:`Requirements` section. The library is required to support specific query interfaces (API), as outlined in the :ref:`Deliverables` section, which form the public interface of the library. Another company has been contracted to build a user interface using the prescribed public interfaces to the library, hence they cannot be changed.
