Operation & Maintenance of the Hydrological Network & OBS Wells in the Kingdom
Monitoring
Overview
ERCAN operated and maintained the national hydrological observation network — the distributed sensor grid that tells Saudi Arabia how much water it has and where it moves.
Scope
- Water management for OBS wells (manual & automatic, 700+ stations)
- Operation & maintenance of rainfall stations (320+)
- Operation & maintenance of weather/climate stations (90+)
- Operation & maintenance of dam stations (30+) & discharge stations (40+)
- Water-resources management & telemetric plan
- Sensor calibration, database build & data interpretation/modelling
Engineering Challenge
Maintaining accuracy and uptime across more than a thousand stations of mixed generations, spread across the entire Kingdom, in extreme environmental conditions.
Delivery & Outcome
A disciplined telemetric and maintenance programme: sensor calibration for automatic stations, structured database construction, and continuous data interpretation and modelling across rainfall, weather, dam and discharge stations.
A reliable, calibrated national dataset underpinning water-resource decisions — sustained over more than three years of unbroken operation.
