  abstract = {{W}ithin the {HYDROMED} program, to assess hydrological variables describing the water balance of small dams, each reservoir is equipped with a water level gauge, an evaporation pan, and two stations for automatic data collection. {T}he first station is connected to a tipping bucket rain gauge (resolution of 0.5 mm rainfall), while the second is connected to a submerged probe that measures the water level, within 1 cm, and temperature each 5 minutes. {T}he spillway is designed in such a way that the discharge can be estimated. {T}he bathymetry of each reservoir is recorded at least once every hydrological year, and is compared with a detailed ground survey, making it possible to determine the silting rate of each reservoir, and to create level-volume and level-surface relationships. {T}he water abstraction for main users around the reservoirs is observed daily. {A} software package allows to take the data directly and store it in a single hydrological data bank : rainfall and evaporation, level-volume and level surface curves for the reservoir, water level-spillway discharge curves, water level, spillway discharge, volume and surface area of water in the reservoir, water abstraction. {T}he software allows editing tables of data and curves. {M}any different time steps can be choosen and various ways to present the datda are possible. {F}or a certain period t, the general water balance equation for a reservoir can be applied by using the principle of water volume conservation. {T}he variation of the water volume stored in the reservoir is equal to the sum of water volumes entering minus water volumes exiting the system...
