ESTONIAN METEOROLOGICAL AND HYDROLOGICAL INSTITUTE

Phare project: “Development of the National Hydrometric network to EU standards”

Olga Kovalenko Hydrology Department EMHI Aim of the project

• Estonia implements WFD requirements (Art. 4, 6, 8, 16) at the part of estimation of surface water monitoring z Short-term: • Development of National hydrometric network (integration with others environmental monitoring networks, technical optimisation as well as increasing in density); • Creation of Hydrological Inforamation System (HIS). Real-time data transfer via Internet for improvement quality of hydrological forecast and timed-out flood warning, increasing of efficiency of client sevicing; • Providing of environmental projects with required hydrological data for fulfillment of international conventions

ESTONIAN METEOROLOGICAL AND HYDROLOGICAL INSTITUTE Problems Lack of National and National hydrometric Insufficient fulfilment Insufficient International network is insufficient of Transboundary public standards integrated with WFD Convention and warning HELCOM system requirements

Insufficient Insufficient level of customer service hydrological forecast

Insufficient data Insufficient data Inconvenient Digital database dissemination transfer system data exchange absence system Insufficient integration between water Lack of Real-time Telecommunicational Insufficient quality and experience data absence system is worn-out database quantity monitoring

Low priority Specialists in new Instruments are Hydrometric network for hydrology technologies are worn-out density is less than the absent minimum recommended Project contracts z Contract 1 – Twinning light (for institutional framework assessment and training) z Contract 2 – Works Contract – Construction of hydrometric stations infrastructure z Contract 3 – Technical Assistance for developing HIS, trainings and seminars z Contract 4 – Supply – Automatic stations, hardware and softwar, installation; factory based training; customer service for 3 years.
