Since 2011, the IAHR/WMO/IAHS international stream gauging training course has been organized in seven countries around the world by recognized hydrometry experts. The three-day course consists of lectures covering topics including field operations (gauging station, discharge measurements), data management (rating curves, uncertainty estimation, data review) and field exercises. The course is designed for students, academics and professional hydrologists who want to gain a clear picture of both classic and innovative hydrometry technologies, and get involved in the international community of hydrometry experts.

See the report of the previous training course (Liverpool, UK, 2024) here: https://www.iahr.org/index/detail/1520 

The short course is offered over three days:

    Day 1 (Sunday 28 June) – Lectures on hydrometric field measurements (gauging station, stream gauging, measurement quality and uncertainty).

    Day 2 (Monday 29 June) – Hands-on exercises in the field and/or in the classroom (discharge measurements using conventional and innovating techniques, e.g. radar and image velocimetry, low-tech/low-cost instrumentation, etc.).

    Day 3 (Tuesday 30 June) – Discharge computation and hydrometric data management: rating curves, hydrographs, data QA/QC, uncertainty analysis and publication.

Potential international speakers include:

    Alexandre Hauet (EDF and Grenoble Alpes University, France)

    Marian Muste (IIHR, Iowa University, USA)

    Dongsu Kim (Dankook University, Seoul, Korea)

    Roberto Ranzi ( University of Brescia, Italy)     

    Jérôme Le Coz (INRAE, France)

The Soil and Water Resources Institute (SWRI, Greece) will support the course: presentation of local hydrological service, field operations and instrumentation. 

Institutional and commercial sponsorship of the course is welcome: please contact us!
