This paper presents the solutions adopted to automate the monitoring of hydrometeorological parameters in Romania within the framework of the EC LIFE Program. The system is based on HYDRAROM Automated Stations manufactured by SIAT SA, with components supplied by LOGOTRONIC GmbH. The paper discusses the structure of the stations, installation works, and exploitation. Results include component manufacturing, factory acceptance tests, preparation works, and documentation in Romanian. The paper concludes with the achievements in different river basins in Romania.

The Coordinator of the Project – INHGA (National Institute for Hydrology and Water Management) We present the solutions adopted to the achievement of the Information System Infrastructure, works fulfilled in the framework of the CE Programmes:LIFE MOSYM and RIVER LIFE, with the purpose to automate the Monitoring of the Hydrological Parameters. The System is based on the HYDRAROM Automated Stations, manufactured and homologated by SIAT SA, partner in the above mentioned Programmes. The manufacturing of the Automated Stations is based mainly on Components and Subassemblies supplied by Logotronic GmbH (Austria). The paper presents some aspects in connection with: the structure of the HYDRAROM Automated Station, the means for the accomplishment of the Installation Works and some remarksontheir exploitation. The Main Target of these Projects was to Design and to Manufacture Automated Hydrometric Stations in Romania, provided with functions for Measuring, Storing and Centralized Transmission of the Quantitative & Qualitative Hydrometeorological Parameters, to install them at locations of interest, creating in this way the National Hydrological Information System.
RESULTS: • Component Manufacturing according to ISO9000 Standard; • Factory Acceptance Test (FAT); • Shop Drawing Set for all Mechanical and Electrical Subassemblies; • Preparation Works at Installation Sites managed by Final benefiting • Authority Apele Romane ( Romanian Waters); • Mechanical and Climate Tests for the HYDRAROM Stations, • homologated by QTEST IPA SA Company; • Elaboration of the Documentation and of the User Interfaces in • Romanian Language;
