  1. WMO RA VI Hydrology ForumGroup 4

  2. What are our strengths? • Technical - • Preservation of the number of hydrological stations • Upgrading the level of station efficiency (automatization, inclusion of modern technologies….) • Long term service with long data series • Socio-economic - • Sending the accurate and on-time information to the governments and public for safeguard of material goods and human lives • Strategies - 1. Raising awareness among wider public on the importance on hydrological data and products

  3. Where are the main gaps and needs • Gaps - 1. Lack of time and funds for technical innovations 2. Lack of trained personal for hydrometric measurements and station maintenance 3. Lack of data standardization and non existence of referent period and common procedures for instrument calibration 4. Lack of meetings and workshops for hydrological technicians for the purpose of exchanging their knowledge and practice and also for data management 5. Lack of interest (persons) for the field work

  4. Needs – • Raising awareness among public on the importance of hydrological measurements and data • Trainings for hydrometric measurements and station maintenance and exchange of experience among region • Preparation of standards on methodologies, data and practice, hydrological referent period

  5. What is the role of the Forum? To bring the hydrology experts together making possible the exchange of information, ideas and knowledge and strengthening the role of National hydrological services
