World Hydrological Cycle Observing System Guidelines
WHYCOS is a global concept, comprising a number of independent regional or basin-wide Hydrological Cycle Observing System (HYCOS) components. At the local level within a country, HYCOS brings together various agencies to work on delivering enhanced data and information products, such as the production and delivery of flood forecasts and warnings. An important complementary activity is the building of closer ties to communities and groups whose primary mandate benefits from access to the enhanced data, products and services, thereby achieving increased positive societal impacts. This contribute ...

WHYCOS is a global concept, comprising a number of independent regional or basin-wide Hydrological Cycle Observing System (HYCOS) components. At the local level within a country, HYCOS brings together various agencies to work on delivering enhanced data and information products, such as the production and delivery of flood forecasts and warnings. An important complementary activity is the building of closer ties to communities and groups whose primary mandate benefits from access to the enhanced data, products and services, thereby achieving increased positive societal impacts. This contributes to increasing the capacities of institutions and communities to work more closely together. In the light of experiences gained from the implementation of regional HYCOS projects since the inception of WHYCOS, the WHYCOS International Advisory Group (WIAG) was set up to oversee its coordination, provide policy guidance and advise on its future development. It has called for a common, yet flexible, approach to the development and implementation of HYCOS components. The Guidelines presented herein are therefore aimed at ensuring that each project remains consistent with the WHYCOS vision, objectives and principles, while responding to local and regional needs, realities and changing situations.

World Hydrological Cycle Observing System (WHYCOS) Guidelines
The Guidelines should help achieve the objectives of the International Decade for Action "Water for Life" (2005–2015). They are designed to serve as guidance for the main stages of project formulation and implementation including initiation, development, realization and management, as well as monitoring and evaluation, of HYCOS projects. It is expected that the information in this brochure should allow for the exchange of experience, data and information among development projects and activities and thereby help in developing and improving the implementation of HYCOS components.

Projet Volta-HYCOS - Stage de formation, formation en hydrométrie : éléments de topographie
Organisation météorologique mondiale (OMM); Groupe des écoles EIER - ETSHER ; Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) - 2006Ce document traite du thème de la topographie et du nivellement appliqué à l’hydrologie, sujet vaste et complexe qu’il est illusoire de prétendre explorer de manière exhaustive en quelques pages. Complété par les notes, visites de terrain et échanges d’expériences entre participants, ce document devrait constituer un bon mémento pour les hydrométristes anciens ou nouveaux qui suivent ce cours.
