Abstract. The African continent is probably the one with lowest density of hydrometric stations currently measuring river discharge despite fact that number operating was quite important until 1970s. This new Database Hydrometric Indices (ADHI) provides a wide range indices and hydrological signatures computed from different sources data after quality control. It includes 1466 at least 10 years...

“Real Time Sensor Web Enabled Water Quality Monitoring System” is an attempt to develop a general sensor and data model for monitoring water quality. The parameters for determining the quality of water are the pH level, turbidity and temperature. The main aim of this paper is to use a standardized Service Orientated Architecture (SOA), for sensor data representation in universal standards that ...

The knowledge of water flow pathways and residence times in a catchment are essential for predicting the hydrological response to a rain storm event. Different experimental techniques are available to study these processes, which are briefly reviewed in this paper. To illustrate this, recent findings from the Weatherley catchment a 1.5 km 2 semi-arid headwater in South-Africa, are reported in t...

The design of an optimum hydrometeorological and hydrometric station network constitutes a key factor for the collection comprehensive reliable flow data that are necessary both decision making in water resources policy management, risk assessment. This article describes methodology developed geographic information system (GIS) using multicriteria (MCDM) approach, which combines several spatial...

Delineating hydrologic and pedogenic factors influencing groundwater flow in riparian zones is central in understanding pathways of water and nutrient transport. In this study, we combined two-dimensional time-lapse electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) (depth of investigation approximately 2 m) with hydrometric monitoring to examine hydrological processes in the riparian area of FD-36, a small ...

[1] The effects of catchment size and landscape organization on runoff generation are poorly understood. Little research has integrated hillslope and riparian runoff investigation across catchments of different sizes to decipher first-order controls on runoff generation. We investigated the role of catchment sizes on riparian and hillslope dynamics based on hydrometric and tracer data observed ...
