NILE BASIN REGIONAL HYDROMET 3 Nile Basin Regional HydroMet to promote efficient utilisation of water resources

HydroMet System, whose full name It is common in literature to distinguish between is hydro-meteorological monitoring hydrological monitoring, also called hydrometric system, comprises the infrastructure monitoring, systems as those concerned with A – both software and hardware – monitoring the hydrology of a watershed and and associated institutional setup for monitoring meteorological monitoring systems as those meteorological and hydrological parameters of a dealing with monitoring of weather and climatic geographical area, such as a river basin. variables. HydroMet Systems provide data needed for agricultural planning and monitoring; regulating The system typically comprises ground observation hydraulic structures such as storage dams for networks, such as those measuring river/lake generation; early warning for disaster levels, rainfall, temperature, atmospheric pressure, preparedness such as floods and drought, navigation, wind speed, solar radiation or other parameters, water resources management and planning; air data transmission systems – to relay data from quality monitoring, aviation operations, navigation terrestrial observation stations to data centres – data and many other human activities. management systems (databases and associated data management tools), system of procedures for data quality control and processing. How the Hydromet functions

here are five important factors that determine with a system of tools for data processing and generation how a HydroMet System functions: of information for specific purposes. Decision relevant information is then disseminated to those who need it First, a working and appropriately using diverse communication channels, such as emails, Tdesigned data collection system needs to over the web, or other means depending on the urgency be in place: At the heart of any HydroMet System is for transmitting the information and the intended uses the infrastructure for collection of decision relevant or users. data – be it using ground observation network or via non-conventional means, such as satellite remote << Precipitation, solar radiation, lake levels, sensing.

For example, data on impending flooding can available to those who need it and to those purposes only aide in saving lives if it is received by those who for which it is needed.

NILE BASIN REGIONAL HYDROMET 5 The HydroMet System context in relation to the Nile Basin

he Nile Basin is a shared river basin that modern instruments that ensure more precise data stretches over 11 riparian countries. It covers collection and continuous and timely transmission of contrasting hydro-climatic, ecological and data. socio-economic systems that span from T According to the survey conducted by NBI in 2014, tropical regions (the Nile Equatorial Lakes region) to there were approximately 949 meteorological and desert/semi desert downstream parts. Each Nile Basin 427 hydrological stations in the Nile Basin. Over 70 country has its own national hydro-meteorological percent of the meteorological stations measure either monitoring system designed to serve a variety of daily rainfall totals or rainfall and temperature. Most purposes in the respective countries. hydrological stations measure river or lake water Studies conducted by the Nile Basin Initiative indicate levels. Monitoring of water quality, sediment transport substantial gaps in the current HydroMet monitoring in rivers, and groundwater are at their early stages in infrastructure. There are hydrologically important most countries. Data transmission from the stations to areas of the basin that are poorly monitored due to central data repository in most countries is manual. inadequate monitoring network; many monitoring Further, being designed to serve purposes within stations are poorly equipped – some not operational the country where they are installed, many stations for quite substantial periods of their history since needed substantial upgrading to serve transboundary establishment; many stations are not equipped with water resources management. For example, flood preparedness for communities in low lying areas where most of the flood disaster causing high flow is generated from an upstream country require real-time data collection and transmission to enable timely forecast of flood early warning and, thereby, save lives. This requires a monitoring system that is optimised to serve flood disaster preparedness across country boundaries. There are many examples that demonstrate the need for a regionally optimised HydroMet monitoring system in the Nile Basin.

In a nutshell, there are two complementary arguments for the Nile Basin Regional HydroMet monitoring system. First, improved HydroMet monitoring infrastructure yields more precise and timely decision relevant data. Second, a regionally optimised HydroMet system greatly helps in joint management of the shared Nile Basin water resources, improved cooperative disaster management, more optimal water utilisation among many other benefits to the riparian countries.

The Nile Basin riparian countries recognised the need for improved joint Hydro-meteorological monitoring system early in their cooperation endeavour.

The first attempt to meet this need was the HydroMet Project that lasted from 1967 – 1972 and which focused << According to the survey conducted by on hydro-meteorological survey of the Nile Equatorial NBI in 2014, there were approximately 949 Lakes. This project was supported financially by UNDP. meteorological and 427 hydrological stations Out of the then 9 riparian countries, seven of them took in the Nile Basin. Over 70 percent of the part in the project. The project led to improvement of meteorological stations measure either daily hydro-meteorological monitoring of the Equatorial rainfall totals or rainfall and temperature. Lakes region. Most hydrological stations measure river or lake water levels. Monitoring of water quality, Under their joint institution, the NBI, the riparian sediment transport in rivers, and groundwater countries initiated the process for putting in place a Regional HydroMet system that builds on previous are at their early stages in most countries. >> works and responds to current needs of the riparian countries in their joint management and development of the Nile Basin.

NILE BASIN REGIONAL HYDROMET 7 Benefits of the HydroMet system to Nile Basin countries

he Nile Basin Regional HydroMet System is comprised of approximately 80 hydrological and 323 meteorological monitoring stations Tequipped with state of the art observation and with data transmission instruments. Further, the system also includes upgraded water quality laboratories in the NBI Member States; infrastructure for use of Earth Observation information and limited groundwater monitoring stations. The regional HydroMet system will be built on existing national monitoring networks with additional stations installed where none exist.

The regional HydroMet System is designed to provide more reliable data and information for water resources management. The design was aimed at providing transboundary benefits in a number of areas, including: flood disaster preparedness; coordinated management of water storage dams; navigation; improved adaptation to climate change.

The NBI Member States will benefit from state of the art monitoring infrastructure, including support to increasing use of Earth Observation for the management of water and related natural resources. << The regional HydroMet System is With increasing availability of credible and continuously designed to provide more reliable data observed data, the countries will be able to improve the water resources planning and management, as well as utilise and information for water resources their water resources more efficiently – both at regional and management. The design was aimed national levels; be better prepared against natural hazards, at providing transboundary benefits such as floods and droughts; monitor changes in the Nile in a number of areas, including: flood Basin climate and, hence, improve their climate change disaster preparedness; coordinated adaptation plans, among others. management of water storage dams; navigation; improved adaptation to The implementation of the HydroMet System will be climate change. >> accompanied by trainings of national technicians to ensure Member States have the necessary skilled staff to install, operate and maintain modern hydro-meteorological monitoring systems.

NILE BASIN REGIONAL HYDROMET 9 The likely challenges in implementing the HydroMet

The security of systems installed in remote areas of the Nile Basin is not assured; there is a possibility of vandalism. Also, sustainability of the system beyond the project life will depend on the countries’ commitment to support the system. What countries need to do during implementation

There are no conditions attached to the implementation of the system. However, any transboundary river basin monitoring system can realise its full benefit only if data/information is shared and if the equipment is well maintained.
