The £38 million project will establish a nationwide Floods and Droughts Research Infrastructure, offering near real-time data to the hydrological community. Led by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, the project will deploy instruments for observing our water environment – measuring evaporation, soil moisture, weather, groundwater and river flows.
Working with partners and groups across the UK, it will catalyse innovation, provide novel digital solutions to support data, including discovery, access and integration and help build capacity in the hydrological community through training and skills sharing.
