A hydrological station is a geographical location at which observations and measurements of hydrological parameters such as rainfall, evaporation, water level, stream flow, suspended sediment and water quality are made either manually by an observer, automatically recorded by a recorder or logged by a data logger. In addition, the station can be equipped with a telemetric system using telecommunication where data are collected, transmitted, recorded and displayed at the base station for flood forecasting and warning as well as drought monitoring purposes
