“…Hydrological research needs real-time hydrological monitoring to explain the nature of dynamical hydrologic systems, ecohydrology, and vegetated flows; this will support decision making regarding flood mitigation risk, improvement in radar RI calibration, and reduction of the uncertainty in precipitation measurements, among others [11][12][13][14]16,[93][94][95]. The temporal resolution depends on the use of the data and the reliability required.…”

“…Since then, this interest has grown, and nowadays, rainfall monitoring, research, and forecast (calibration/validation) are of general awareness to better understand the hydrological cycle and subjects that depend on water and precipitation, such as: irrigation, hydrological research, water resources management, flood risk, flood alert, flood and weather forecast, hydraulic structures design, urban planning, industry, and a large number of human interest activities [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].Human interest in precipitation monitoring has grown with technological development and the increase in human population, which demands more and more resources, generating stress on natural hydrological systems. Thus, hydrological research is gaining interest not only in the scientific community, but also in governmental institutions, with unprecedented support [11].

Tipping bucket rain gauges (TBRs) have been, and apparently will continue to be one of the most widely used pieces of equipment for rainfall monitoring, being frequently used for the calibration, validation and downscaling of radar and remote sensing data, due to their major advantages–low cost, simplicity, and low energy consumption. Thus, many works have focused and continue to focus on their main disadvantage–measurement biases (mainly in wind and mechanical underestimations). However, despite arduous scientific effort, calibration methodologies are not frequently implemented by monitoring networks operators or data users, propagating bias in databases and in the different applications of such data, causing uncertainty in the modeling, management, and forecasting in hydrological research, mainly due to a lack of knowledge. Within this context, this work presents a review of the scientific advances in TBR measurement uncertainties, calibration, and error reduction strategies from a hydrological point of view, by describing different rainfall monitoring techniques in Section 2, summarizing TBR measurement uncertainties in Section 3, focusing on calibration, and error reduction strategies in Section 4, a discussion and perspectives in Section 5, and conclusions in Section 6, providing an overview of the of the state of the art and future perspectives of the technology.

“…Currently, the UAV is used to monitoring marine environments by collecting data from drifting buoysas primary environmental sensors, as a data sink and dynamic network router (Trasvina-Moreno et al, 2017). Monitoring the tempo-spatial variation patterns of water-level is another application which have their effect on flood control and management (Weng et al, 2017).…”

The adoption of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for environmental monitoring is currently considered one of the most challenging applications for this emerging technology. These set of sensors that collaboratively perform embedded sensing and communication tasks owned features such as low cost, flexibility, fault tolerance, high sensing fidelity, creating many new and exciting applications for remote sensing and space industry where many essential phenomena have hardly been investigated. In this paper, a state-of-art survey clearly shows the WSNs have been successfully implemented and tested in remote sensing applications. Morevever, the developments and challenges in design WSNs for space-based application are discussed in order boost the use of WSNs in remote sensing and space industry in Egypt.

“…Currently, a number of data acquisition technologies are being used to obtain hydrological data. Accuracy, resolution, and scalability are some of the significant issues that need to be addressed in developing an efficient and robust hydrological monitoring system [2] [3]. In the earlier techniques, analog type network with cables and a number of sensors wired to data loggers were used for hydrological monitoring.…”

Hydrological monitoring and real-time access to data are valuable for hydrological research and water resources management. In the recent decades, rapid developments in digital technology, micro-electromechanical systems, low power micro-sensing technologies and improved industrial manufacturing processes have resulted in retrieving real-time data through Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) systems. In this study, a remotely operated low-cost and robust WSN system was developed to monitor and collect real-time hydrologic data from a small agricultural watershed in harsh weather conditions and upland rolling topography of Southern Ontario, Canada. The WSN system was assembled using off-the-shelf hardware components, and an open source operating system was used to minimize the cost. The developed system was rigorously tested in the laboratory and the field and found to be accurate and reliable for monitoring climatic and hydrologic parameters. The soil moisture and runoff data for 7 springs, 19 summer, and 19 fall season rainfall events over the period of more than two years were successfully collected in a small experimental agricultural watershed situated near Elora, Ontario, Canada. The developed WSN system can be readily extended for the purpose of most hydrological monitoring applications, although it was explicitly tailored for a project focused on mapping the Variable Source Areas (VSAs) in a small agricultural watershed.
