- water level (piezometric, ultrasonic)
- flow velocit and discharge (MID, ultrasonic, Radar, ADCP)
- automatic, programmable samplers
- water quality:
- organic bulk parameters (spectroscopy)
- nitrate (spectroscopy, ion-selective)
- ammonia (ion-selective)
- oxygen (spectroscopy, amperometry)
- particles (spectroscopy)
- peripherial equipment for measurement stations
