正文(英文) | The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) has allocated CHF 2.4 million to the WMO Global Hydrometry Support Facility (WMO HydroHub) to fund Phase II, which is officially launched on 1 September. “The WMO HydroHub has proven instrumental in increasing the quality and amount of hydrometric data as a global public good decisive to disaster risk reduction, sustainable water management and environmental protection,” stated Simon Zbinden, Head of the Global Programme Water at SDC. About 60% of WMO Member States and Territories report declining local water monitoring capacities. However, innovations in sensor technologies and data processing offer opportunities for enhancing water observation networks that are not being realized. In 2017, WMO and SDC partnered to develop the WMO HydroHub Phase I to bring those opportunities to WMO Members. SDC provided CHF 2.7 million in funding over a five-year period to enhance support for hydrological monitoring to National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) around the world and capitalize on the numerous opportunities arising from recent developments in innovation research, and data and information technology. WMO HydroHub Phase I closed in August 2021 and now SDC has allocated an additional CHF 2.4 million to fund Phase II, starting in September 2021, for another five-year period. Phase II aims to enhance capacities of NMHSs in sustainable operation and effective delivery of hydrological monitoring services for disaster risk reduction, social and economic development and environmental protection. This will be done through the implementation of a portfolio of 10 activities including trainings and learning exchanges, innovation calls, workshops, and ministerial roundtables. Mr Zbinden noted that “the project is fully in line with SDC’s commitment to a water-secure world” and called on other donors to “join this initiative to help step up global action on water and thus accelerate the delivery of the 2030 Agenda“. The project has three main expected outcomes:
“The WMO HydroHub has added a new dimension to WMO’s efforts in supporting hydrological measurements, monitoring and information systems: Innovation,” stated Johannes Cullmann, Director, Water and Cryosphere at WMO. “WMO HydroHub Phase I enabled the WMO community to integrate innovation in its projects and operations, strengthening knowledge about water resources. We had valuable practical outcomes from two innovation calls, which brought the private and scientific sectors together to develop and implement new solutions to long-standing problems related to water measuring, monitoring and data exchange.” “In Phase II, which we officially launched on 1 September, we will scale up the WMO HydroHub to create an innovation culture that fosters creative solutions that can be implemented at a much larger scale. The WMO HydroHub is an initial step to transformational change to provide innovative, flexible and constantly evolving solutions for an increasingly complex world and ever more tricky hydrological issues around water supply, demand and disaster management,” said Mr Cullmann.

The WMO HydroHub is an initial step to transformational change to provide innovative, flexible and constantly evolving solutions for an increasingly complex world and ever more tricky hydrological issues around water supply, demand and disaster management.” Since 2017, WMO HydroHub Phase I has provided essential support to NMHSs to better understand their gaps and needs, and to take up innovative hydrometric technologies in their operations as well as in managing and sharing their hydrological data. The project had made many significant contributions over the past five years:
