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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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