RBV observatory
The SOERE RBV (Réseau des Bassins Versants) is a network of hydrologic, agronomical and biogeochemical observatories (from the catchment scale to the basin scale). It is constituted of about 15 elementary observatories originally designed in order to address agro-hydrological, biogeochemical or hydro-meteorological questions. Thanks to the involvement of IRD institute, the network is international and benefits from a number of fruitful collaboration with countries from the South.
The RBV network aims at sharing experience and ideas between the different communities (hydrology, geophysics, geochemistry, geomorphology, karst sciences) in the perspective of testing common working hypothesis, building a common core of data and promoting education of drainage basin science.
