    water samples ( rain, runoff, underground water) are carried in icebox and frozen. ( FILTRATION ? ). Samples are analyzed by a dedicated laboratory, that quantify a set of parameters including from 1 to 430 pesticide active ingredients and their metabolites.

    A meteorological station and a flow tower have been installed in the Kamech watershed. Through these two stations, a set of sensors is arranged to collect various meteorological variables. The meteorological station, installed in 1998, is equipped with sensors that are placed two meters above the ground. These sensors allow the acquisition of global radiation, wind speed and direction, air temperature and humidity, atmospheric pressure. The instruments used are: pyranometer, anemometer (A100R, vector), wind vane (W200P), thermohygrometer (HPM45C, vaisala), barometer (CS100, Setra). The flow tower or micro-meteorological station, installed in 2010, is equipped with sensors installed at 10 meters from the ground, allows to measure the real evapotranspiration (ETR) by the turbulent covariance method. This method is based on high frequency measurements (10 to 20 measurements per second) of vertical wind speed, air temperature and air humidity. The instruments used are: sonic anemometer (CSAT3, Campbell Sc), icor 7500, air temperature and humidity (HMP45, vaisala). Additional sensors measuring temperature, relative humidity and speed are installed at 2 m height from the ground allowing to have a second point of measurement of the meteorological variables on the BV. A data acquisition system calculates and stores the average values over 30-minute time intervals. The data are collected by the staff of INRGREF of Tunis. They are processed, prepared in the format of integration in the database HYSAE of LISAH to be integrated into the information system of OMERE Through the OMERE data web portal, the address of which is given in this fact sheet, the data can be consulted and downloaded.

    The rainfall of the Roujan (Hérault) catchment area has been acquired since 1992 through various measuring points on which sensors are positioned on a long-term and continuous basis. The data from these sensors are directly recorded on servers in Montpellier through remote transmission. Verification treatments and possible corrections are applied before the data sets are integrated into the HYSAE database. Through the OMERE data portal accessible from this sheet, the data can be downloaded from an interactive map. In addition to these raw data rainfall records, a so-called "synthetic" time serie is elaborated to provide a complete and uninterrupted chronicle of rainfall data representative for the catchment area.

    The measurement of rainfall in Kamech catchment (Cap Bon/Tunisia) is operational since 1994 through a network of daily and instantaneous (tipping bucket) rain gauges, some of them being remotely connected to servers in Montpellier. Verification treatments and possible corrections aare applied before the data sets are integrated into the HYSAE database. A "synthetic" rainfall dataset derived from these measurements and accessible from the OMERE data portal is elaborated as a complete and uninterrupted chronicle of rainfall data for the catchment area.

    The Kamech basin is located north of Cap-Bon, in the governorate of Nabeul, on the border between the sub-humid and semi-arid Mediterranean climates. The average inter-annual rainfall is about 640 mm and the potential evapotranspiration is 1300 mm. The outlet of the basin is occupied by a hilly lake built in 1994 (140,000 m3 of initial capacity). The inter-annual flow coefficient is of the order of 10%-15% and the erosion of 15 t/ha/year. Land use is characterised by a cultivation rate close to 75% with, in order of importance: cereals, legumes and irrigated market gardening. This basin has been the subject of a monitoring of anthropogenic activities (land use and management, agricultural practices...), of agro-climatic variables, and of runoff and erosion since 1994 (+ pesticides more recently) at its outlet and since 2005 on 4 substations. This watershed is part of a network of 27 watersheds monitored under an agreement with the Tunisian Ministry of Agriculture (DGACTA).

    The groundwater temperature is measured at different points in the Kamech catchment. In Kamech site, the groundwater is shallow with a free surface water table rising and falling in the soil and subsoil layers. The measurements are made at different points in the catchment with piezometers. A piezometer is a perforated PVC tube at its base installed in the soil through a borehole. In every piezometer, the groundwater temperature is monitored at high frequency (~15') with autonomous and automatic temperature probe integrating acquisition units. Through the OMERE data portal accessible from this website, the data can be downloaded from an interactive map.

    The monitoring of suspended sediment loads in runoff and stream flows aims to quantify the amount of sediments translocated during runoff events. These measurements contribute to the understanding and the quantification of the soil redistribution induced by water erosion processes. The measurements of suspended matter are made through manual and automated water sampling at the hydrological stations, which are then processed and analysed in the laboratory to derive suspended sediment concentrations. A turbidimeter has been recently installed to complete the time series of sediment discharge. Suspended sediment concentrations are integrated into the HYSAE database, they can subsequently be consulted and downloaded via the OMERE data portal.

    The thematic map provided allows you to visualise the measurement points concerning this data acquisition device. This map is accessible via a standardised WMS flow, but also enables the data sets associated with the measurement point to be downloaded, depending on the case, via the ORE OMERE data portal.

  • The main crop is the vine. The site is strongly anthropised (network of ditches, terraced slopes, etc.). The climate is sub-humid Mediterranean with a prolonged dry season. The average annual rainfall is around 650 mm and the average annual ETP (Penman) is 1090 mm. The basic hydro-meteorological equipment, in place since May 1992, consists of a network of 9 rain gauges and 4 pluviographs, a device for measuring water table heights (14 sites), a device for measuring flows, suspended matter and pesticides at the outlets of the catchment area and of two plots with different cultivation routes and a network of 8 stations for measuring soil water content and water potential. Roujan was part of the reference catchment area network of the Network Observation Service Used for Hydrology Research created by the GIP Hydrosystème.
