European Terrestrial Network for River Discharge (ETN-R)

The European Terrestrial Network for River Discharge (ETN-R) is an information infrastructure for the automated collection, quality control and redistribution of near real-time river discharge and water level data from 30 European national and trans-boundary river basins, involving in total 35 countries. The results of the project will primarily improve the forecasts of the European Flood Alert System (EFAS) research project conducted at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission (EC). Many of the achievements made during the three year project (2006-2008) will contribute to the GRDC project Global Terrestrial Network for River Discharge (GTN-R).
