    Runoff and stream flow discharge have been monitored since 1994 at the outlet of the Kamech catchment, and since 2005 at four sub-catchment hydrological stations. Automatic sensors continuously collected and transmitted water level time series to servers in Montpellier (France). Verification and correction processes on the raw data, as well as the generation of elaborated data (e.g. calculation of runoff, discharge from water levels, modification of time steps, etc) are applied before integration of the data sets into the HYSAE database. The time series can be downloaded from an interactive map through the OMERE data portal accessible from this page.

    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 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.

    Water sampling in rain, runoff and undergroundwater are performed on the fields and send to a specialized laboratory to quantify major elements contents (Ca, Mg, Na, K, SO4, PO4, HCO3, NO3) ( FILTRATION ???. PH ??? ? EC, ???)

    The water table depth from the soil surface is measured at different points in the Roujan catchment. In Roujan 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 water table depth is measured by manual piezometric probe or monitored at high frequency (~15') with autonomous and automatic probe integrating acquisition units. Through the OMERE data portal accessible from this website, the data can be downloaded from an interactive map.

    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.

  • Geological map of the Roujan catchment area ( 1/5000 scale), modified from the official BRGM geological map (1/50000 printed map number 1015)

  • 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.

    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.
