  6. The mission of HOMS is the organized transfer of proven hydrological technology operationally used by National Hydrological Services for all facets of hydrology and water resources management

  7. Instruments HOMS components include: • Other equipment • Computer software • Manuals and guidance material • Training material

  8. Sequence 019 Fluvial Sediment Measurements A00.0.05 E09.2.01 H09.1.01 Fluvial Sediment Concepts Field Methods for Measurement of Fluvial Sediment Computation of Fluvial Sediment Discharge.

  9. Member countries of WMO have provided input into the HOMS system. • Almost 4,000 transfers have occurred to 138 countries throughout the world. • Approximately 200 components are transferred to both developed and developing countries each year. • Components are regularly added to the HOMS system by the HOMS National Reference Centers as new technology and methods become available. • Out-of-date components are systematically purged from the system.

  10. HOMS Office in WMO • The HOMS Office is at the hub of all HOMS activity. • The Office assists with administrative formalities in the transfer of components and arranges for assistance in the adaptation of components for use in developing countries. • The HOMS Office also monitors the operation of HOMS, including collection of statistics on transfers and identifying gaps in the components and sequences available. • It maintains a Home Page on the Internet

  11. HOMS Reference Manual • Policy, Planning, and Organization • Network Design • Instruments and Equipment • Remote Sensing • Methods of Observations • Data Transmission • Data Storage, Retrieval and Dissemination
