  abstract = {{T}he {A}frican continent is probably the one with the lowest density of hydrometric stations currently measuring river discharge despite the fact that the number of operating stations was quite important until the 1970s. {T}his new {A}frican {D}atabase of {H}ydrometric {I}ndices ({ADHI}) provides a wide range of hydrometric indices and hydrological signatures computed from different sources of data after a quality control. {I}t includes 1466 stations with at least 10 years of daily discharge data over the period 1950-2018. {T}he average record length is 33 years, and 131 stations have complete records over 50 years. {W}ith this new dataset spanning most climatic regions of the {A}frican continent, several hydrometric indices have been computed, representing mean flow characteristics and extremes (low flows and floods), and are accessible to the scientific community. {T}he database will be updated on a regular basis to include more hydrometric stations and longer time series of river discharge. {T}he {ADHI} is available for download at: https://doi.org/10.23708/{LXGXQ}9 ({T}ramblay and {R}ouche, 2020).},
