Hydro-meteorological data series are required to establish a water balance for the basin and the different hydro-geographical zones. Meteorological data include rainfall, temperature, humidity, wind, sunshine, evaporation and evapotranspiration.
The hydro-meteorological section at Rwanda Meteorology Agency is currently in development. The key activities it will undertake during the next year include:
1. Conducting a wide-scale hydrometric survey to integrate the data from numerous hydro-meteorological stations that are being operated by different agencies.
2. Establishing where new sites are required, procuring the equipment and training hydro-met observers to collect data from the sites
3. Collecting hydro-meteorological data from around the country and performing analysis to develop a range of hydro-met services.
More of hydro meteorological related activities are found in Rwanda Natural Resources Authorities.
