Hydro-meteorological Services

The Sierra Leone Meteorological Agency in conjunction with the Ministry of Water Resources operates a network of automated hydrologic and meteorologic monitoring stations located throughout the country. This network and its associated communications and computer systems are collectively called Hydromet. Remote data collection platforms transmit water and environmental data via radio and satellite to provide cost-effective, near-real-time water management capability. Other information, as available, is integrated with Hydromet data to provide timely water supply status for river and reservoir operations.

The Salone Water Securities Project website contains an increasing number of resources that are widely available on the site. The website provides a wide range of data, national and river basin specific maps and publications.
