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.

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.

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.
