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 physico-chemical parameters measured in the Roujan basin and accessible via the data portal concern the measurement of elements such as pH, redox potential, temperature and conductivity, carried out during sampling in the basin.

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.
-
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.
-
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 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.
-
These data correspond to a non-systematic monitoring of dissolved, particulate or total organic carbon contents in water (rain, surface overflow, underground water) in the Roujan catchment area.
-
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.

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.
