The project includes the establishment of cross-national hydrological and meteorological gauging stations covering all needs, to record water resources in their seasonal and geographical variables. This is necessary to get a reliable basis for the planning of a sustainable water deposit management. Increasing population und resulting food requirements will demand higher agricultural food production in the future. Without irrigation this will not be possible, especially in semiarid and arid areas.

Since existing measuring networks do not have sufficient density, it will be necessary to build additional hydrological and meteorological gauging stations. Existing gauging stations are far from being sufficient to provide convincing and reliable parameters of water facts and figures like precipitation, run-off and evaporation.

The project can be started as soon as the necessary means are available. At present we are looking for sponsors who want to support our ambitious pioneering work
