The evaluation of soil moisture in different areas of the Roujan catchment area is carried out by measuring the moisture content of fresh soil samples.

A flow tower is installed on the watershed of Roujan as well as a meteorological station of the AgroClim service unit (INRAE). At these points a set of sensors are arranged in order to collect various meteorological variables such as wind speed, air humidity and temperature, global radiation or evapotranspiration. Just like the other measurements made on the basin by sensors, data acquisition units record the values which are transmitted several times a day to our servers at the INRAE centre in Montpellier or retrieved via Agroclim's webservice. R routines are then used to process these data and prepare them for integration into the HYSAE database of the LISAH, thus integrating them into the information system for OMERE. Through the OMERE data web portal, the address of which is given in this fact sheet, the data can be consulted and downloaded.

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.

Soil moisture assessment in different areas of the Kamech catchment area is carried out using soil tensiometry measurements carried out on different areas and at different depths of the Kamech site.

The physico-chemical parameters measured in the Kamech basin and accessible via the data portal concern the electrical conductivity of the water.

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.

Pesticide contents are determined on the suspended matter extracted by filtration (0,7µm) in runoff water. Contents allow quantification of particula transport of pesticides and allow too compare it to solute transport.
