HydroSOS Implementation Phase

Implementation Progress

Early implementation stages are ongoing informally and formally in many regions across the globe, since the end of end-of-year 2021. The six WMO Regional Associations, through their hydrological bodies, prepared HydroSOS Regional Implementation Plans that were endorsed during WMO Meteorological Congress 19 (Cg-19).

Information related to each region/sub-region is available under the following links:

WMO is currently working together with 23 Member countries (7 in RA I, 6 in RA II, 3 in RA III, and 7 in RA IV) on inception activities for HydroSOS under different projects and developing project proposals.

Technical Development Team 

As part of the implementation progress, members from the HydroSOS Technical Development Team gather virtually and face-to-face to discuss the way forward for the implementation of HydroSOS around the world, and to identify and develop data products and standards for the system requirements.
