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.

Evaluation of pesticides contents in cultivated soils in the Roujan catchment area.

Isotope analysis of groundwater, rainfall and surface water in the Roujan watershed area. Samples of rainfall accumulated over a day or an event as well as instantaneous samples of runoff and groundwater are sent to a specialized laboratory to determine their oxygen 18 and deuterium contents.

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 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 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.

Runoff and stream flow discharge monitoring in the Roujan catchment area (Hérault) is operational since 1992 at catchment and sub-catchments hydrological stations on which automatic sensors records water level time series on a long-term and continuous basis. The data from these sensors are collected and instantaneously transmitted to servers in Montpellier. Verification and correction processes on the raw data, as well as the generation of elaborated data (e.g. calculation of flows from water heights or modification of time steps) are applied before integration of the data sets into the HYSAE database. The water level and discharge time series can be downloaded from an interactive map through the OMERE data portal accessible from this page.

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.
