FOREWORD
The WMO Commission for Hydrology at its fourth session (1972)recommended that relevant global statistics on all types of hydrological networksshould be compiled through the WMO regional associations. In addition to theinformation on hydrological networks which was gathered in accordance with thisrecommendation, a considerable amount of other information on activities inoperational hydrology was also collected from WHO Members for use by the workinggroups and rapporteurs of the Commission for Hydrology and regional associationsand by the Advisory Committee for Operational Hydrology (ACOH).
At its second session, ACOH considered that this type of informationwould be useful to Hydrological Services for their activities at national andregional levels and in particular for planning and co-ordination purposes. Itwould provide comparative information on existing densities of hydrological networks,data processing facilities, manpower, operational costs, etc. It would indicatemajor deficiencies in the operational facilities at the national and regional levelsand thus provide a basis for planning technical assistance activities. ACOH therefore recommended to the Secretary-General that the available material on nationalhydrological networks, hydrological data banks and other related matters should bepublished by WHO. The present publication is the result of this recommendation.
For completeness, information has been included in Chapter:. 2 on theorganization of national operational services dealing with hydrologi"cal' observationnetworks and services. This information was supplied by WMO Members in order torevise and bring up to date WMO/IHD Report No. 10 - Organization of Hydrometeorologicaland Hydrological Services (1969).
I wish to record my gratitude to all those who provided the necessaryinformation for this important publication. Their assistance and co-operation willbe required to enable WMO to revise and bring up to date this publication, which isplanned to be done every four years.

D. A. DaviesSecretary-General
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose of publicotion
This publication is designed to serve as a convenient, permanent andregulorly up-dated compilation of statistical information on activities inoperational hydrology, which has been collected from Members of WHO and supplemented where appropriate by published information from elsewhere. It indicates,in a fairly tangible way, the status of progress and contains some information onfuture plans with respect to operational hydrological activities of Members at thenational, regional and global levels. It should prove valuable at all these levelsfor planning and co-ordination purposes. National situations are viewed in perspective of sub-regional, regional and global settings, thus stimulating activitiesat the national level and promoting co-operation at the regional level. Theinformation contained in this publication will help in the preliminary planning ofwater resources development and will indicate regional implications of suchdevelopment. The information should be of considerable use also to ather international organizations dealing with hydrology and water resources.
1.2 Sources of information
Information has been collected from countries by means of comprehensivequestionnaires. Additional unpublished information has become available as aresult of joint activities of WMO and Regional UN Economic Commissions! such asECA, ECLA and ESCAP. Use was made, as necessary, of the UN "Statistical Yearbook",1974, and other documents and publications.
1.3 Presentation
Information is presented in tabular form! the text consists only ofexplanatory notes and footnotes to make the material readily understandable. Timedependent data are identified by date so that the reader can judge the relation ofthe information to the current situation or to his particular purpose.
1.4 Frequency of publication
It is intended to issue revised and updated editions of this publicationat four-yearly intervals. It is hoped that the statistical tables in futureeditions can be mode more complete than those contained in the present issue! byintroducing additional data and corrections that will be requested from Members.
CHAPTER 2
INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSDEALING WITH HYDROLOGY AND WATER RESOURCES
Explanatory notes
2.1
2.1.1
International organizations
International organizations are of two types:
(a) Governmental (IGOs). These are organizations established by agreements to which two or more States are party. Such organizationsmay be global or regional. Co-ordination of the activities ofthese organizations in hydrology and water resources is achievedthrough the ACC Sub-Committee on Water Resources Development.
(b) Non-governmental (NGOs). To this category belongs any international organization which is not established by intergovernmental agreement, including organizations which acceptmembers designated by government authorities, provided thatsuch membership does not interfere with the free expressionof views of the Organization*.
2.1.2 The principal IGOs and NGOs dealing with hydrology and water resourcesare listed in Tables 2.1 and 2.2 respectively. Organizations established specifically for co-operation in international river basins are listed in Chapter 3 Principal River Basins.
2.2 National organizations
2.2.1 Tables 2.3 to 2.7 are based on the information received in the WHOSecretariat from one hundred and one Members as at July 1976. This information wassought in order to revise and update WMO/IHD Report No. 10 - Organization ofHydrometeorological and Hydrological Services (1969).

CHAPTER 3
PRINCIPAL RIVER BASINS
Explanatory notes
3.1 List of principal river basins
Principal river basins and groups of basins are listed in tables accordingto WMO Regions (Tables 3.1 to 3.6). Major sub-basins only are shown in the case ofvery big basins.
3.2 International system of hydrological observing station identificationnumbers
In order to facilitate international exchange of hydrological informationusing WMO international hydrological codes (FM 67-VI HYDRA - Report of hydrologicalobservations from a hydrological station and FM 68-VI HYFOR - Hydrological forecast),an international system of hydrological observing station identification numbers hasbeen adopted by WMO*. The form of the number is (OOOAC.) (BBiHiHi
H) which identifies
the WMO Region (A), country (C.), river basin or group 6f basins (B8) and thestotion (iHi~iH) The basin inaicators (BB), the countries which extend into thebasin, as well as the corresponding country indicators (C.) are also shown inTables 3.1 to 3.6. The basins are listed in the order of'(BB) numbers. Not alll~ts have yet been formally adopted by the respective WMO Regional Association;the status is indicated on each list. Catchment areas of basins are derived fromnumerous sources and may not be accurate and in some cases the information is notavailable. Additional information will be provided in the next issue of thispublication, in co-operation with the Members. Each table is followed by a map ofthe Region showing the international basins.
3.3. Institutionalized co-operation in river basins·
The number of international agreements and treaties concerning international rivers and boundary waters has rapidly increased in recent years. Manyof these agreements and treaties have resulted in institutionalized co-operationamong the countries concerned. Table 3.7 lists the main international institutionsof this kind. The type of each institution is indicated in column 4 according tothe following classification:
A - Commission or committee consisting of representatives of theparticipating countries. The commission (committee) isaccorded the status of an international organization and hasan executive secretariat;
B - Commission or committee consisting of representatives of theparticipating countries and an executive secretariat (status
*WMO Manual on Codes, Volumes I and II (WMO-No. 306) 1974

as an international organization not indicated);
C - Joint commission consisting of the representatives of the participatingcountries and holding regular meetings;
D- Commission consisting of experts of disinterested countries and anexecutive secretary;
E - Committee consisting of representatives of the participating countries andsupported by the secretariat of the respective regional economiccommission of the United Nations.
F - Company established as a joint-stock company as defined by related act ofone of the participating countries and amended by the agreement.
Column 5 shows the fields of co-operation as follows:
I - Integrated water resou-rces planning and developmentN - NavigationP - HydropowerW- Pollution controlH - Hydrological survey and/or forecasting.
The information on this subject is derived from:
(i) Legislative Texts and Treaties - Provisions Concerning theUtilization of International Rivers for Other Purposes thanNavigation (ST/LEG/SER.B/12; United Nations Publication,Sales No. 63.V.4);
(ii) Management of International Water Resources: Institutionaland Legal Aspects (SF/ESA/5; United Nations Publication,Sales No.E.75.II.A.2);
(iii) UN ECOSOC, Document E/C.7/35, 27 October 1972.

CHAPTER 4
NETWORKS OF HYDROLOGICAL OBSERVING STATIONS
Explanatory notes
4.1 Existing hydrological observing stations
4.1.1 The tables in this chapter contain information on existing hydrologicalstations. Most of the information was supplied by Members of WMO; the data obtainedfrom other sources are printed in parenthesis. Blank spaces in the tables generallymean that the corresponding pieces of information were not received. In some cases,however, when it is clear from the context, blank spaces mean 110 11
•
4.1,2 The information for each WMO Region is presented in four tables:
1 - Precipitation observation networks2 - Evaporation observation networks3 - Surface water observation networks4 - Groundwater observation networks (except for Africa)
4.1.3 As regards the precipitation observation networks in Asia, South-WestPacific and Europe, data on the distribution of stations according to theirelevation are also available and are presented in six additional tables as follows:
(a)(b)(c)(d)(e)(f)
below501
1001 15012001 -
above
500 m i1000 m1500 m2000 m2500 m
2500 m
In each of these additional tables, theentries in Column 4/ headed 11% of total area ll
,
indicate what percentage of the total areagiven in Column 2 falls in the elevationrange to which the table refers.
4~lQ4 Densities of the existing networks of stations are given for precipitation,evaporation and discharge, and are illustrated on separate maps for each Region.
4.2 Recommended minimum densities
4.2.1 In order to facilitate assessment of adequacy of networks of stations, therecommended minimum densities as given in the WMO Guide to Hydrological Practices(WMO-No. 168) are reproduced below. It should be noted that it is not possible todefine a uniform criterion of network densities for all countries. The internationalcharacter of the Guide allows a limited number of large categories which, becausethey comprise a variety of cases, have been defined in a more or less vague manner.When assessina the deficiencies of networks in each respective country, the recommendations given below must be applied with great caution taking into account numerousimportant factors which aTe outlined in the Guide.

At least 10 per cent of the precipitation stations in warm climates and 5 per centin cold climates should be equipped with precipitation recorders.
4.2.3 Minimum density of networks of evaporation stations
The need for evaporation data increases with the degree of aridity. Inarid regions, one evaporation stations in each 30,000 km2 is a recommended minimum.In humid temperate regions one station in 50,000 km2 and in cold regions, onestations on 1000,000 km2 is recommended for the minimum net~ork.

Minimum requirements for the measurement of water guality
Records of water quality should be obtained at least at the followingpercentage of stutions of hydrometric networks:
- Arid regions 25 per cent
Humid-temperate regions and tropical forests 5 per cent
- Cold humid regions 1 per cent
These percentages will, however, be found much too low in highlyindustrialized regions.

CHAPTER 5
COSTS AND MANPOWER FOR OPERATION OF HYDROMETRIC NETWORKS
Explanatory notes
5.1 Source of information
The information was collected on sample representative regions from 19 WMOMember countries. Two countries also supplied information an the entire country.Four countries supplied intofmation for the entire country only. The data arecompiled in two tables.
5.2 Contents of tables
Table 5~1 gives the names, characteristics, capital costs and costs ofmanpower, equipment and transport. To give an indication of the general level ofdevelopment of the area concerned, the annual income per capita is also included.The actual manpower used to operate the hydrometric network in each of the sampleregions listed in Table 5.1 is given in Table 5.2. The two tables should thereforebe considered together. In connexion with Table 5.1 it should be noted that allsums of money which were given in local currency aTe converted to U.S. dollars atthe UN rate of exchange as at 1 January 1974, when the information was collected.

CHAPTER 6
HYDROLOGICAL DATA BANKS
Explanatory notes
6.1 Contents of tables and source of information
This chapter provides information on facilities for hydrological datacollection, processing and archiving which was supplied by the Members. For eachWMO Region, the data are presented in three tables. The first table concerns theexistence of computer facilities and national hydrological data banks; the secondcontains some details of the status of collection and automatic processing of hydrological data, and the third one relates to archiving of hydrological data. At theend of the chapter, tables (6.7.1, 6.7.2 and 6.7.3) provide regional and world totalsfor each of these three types of information. The notes which follow give thedefinition of the terms appearing in the tables and' describe the contents of thetables.
6.2 Hydrological data
"Hydrological data ll implies data related to surface water and groundwater(levels, flows J suspended sediment, ice cover, physical qnd chemical quality ofwater, etc.).
6.3 National hydrological data bank
6.3.1 National hydrological data bank is not necessarily one data bank controlledby one agency at one site. If the related data in different banks can easily beobtained, transferred, and utilized using standardized computer programmes and formats,etc., one could consider that a national data bank exists at a certain level ofdevelopment. A complete national hydrological data bank would be made up of statisticscovering all hydrological parameters for all parts of a country and would permit anypotential user to easily extract and treat these data without extensive manipulationaimed at making different formats compatible for computer treatment. With respect toTables 6.1.1, 6.2.1, 6.3.1, 6.4.1, 6.5.1, 6.6.1 and 6.7.1, three types of nationalhydrological data banks are defined as follows:
Centralized - Ideal data bank as described above
Co-ordinated - Several data banks covering most hydrological parameterswith some type of co-ordinating action between banks oragencies
Limited A centralized data bank but covering only one or two of themany hydrological parameters.
151
6.3~2 In the above-mentioned tables the column reporting on the number of agenciesindicates the number of agencies listed by Members involved in hydrological datacollection. In parenthesis is indicated the number of agencies for which informationwas received concerning the status of hydrological data collection, processing andarchiving. The two subsequent tables for each region (6 .••• 2 and 6.... 3) includethis information for the number of agencies indicated in parentheses only.
6.4 Digi tal form
Data recorded on a standard medium such as magnetic tape, paper tape andpunch cards, ready for automatic treatment by computer are considered to be indigital form. These do not include data in numerical or graphical form which needto be converted either manually ar automatically into computer compatible format.
6.5 Digital archives
Digital archives consist of magnetic tapes, magnetic discs, punch cards etc.Hydrological yearbooks and registers are not considered as part of digital archives.
6.6 Basic and analysed data
Basic data are those observed in the field: for example, water levels,stream velocities (including streamflow), water quality parameters as determinedfrom laboratory examination of field samples or as recorded by an automaticrecorder, etc. Data such as monthly and yearly averages, duration curves and unithydrographs are termed as analysed data.
6.7 Catalogues
A catalogue contains information regarding the data available from adigital archive for past and present hydrological observing stations. The informa-tion usually includes period of record, type of data, location, formats (standardmedium), etc. The data themselves do not normally form a part of the catalogue.
