Strengthen expand, and facilitate hydrological and socio-economic monitoring network Local Hydrological Monitoring With the NIWS Environmental Monitoring and Management Plan (EMMP) approved this quarter (see Section 4.3), our team has secured all relevant approvals from USAID to move forward with installation of new hydrological monitoring equipment, including small weirs. Once fieldwork resumes, pending COVID-19 related restrictions, we anticipate installing new equipment especially in priority sites for hydrological monitoring, such as Piuray, Cusco and Tupicocha, Lima. Likewise, activities to download and service monitoring equipment at sites in the Samanga and Huamantanga learning sites have been suspended until fieldwork resumes. There is no risk of data loss on the equipment, since these devices were selected for their operational capacity of 6 months. However, there is a risk that dirt may plug the devices and impact the sensitivity of the measurements. NIWS is designing a security protocol for field activities that will be validated with local counterparts prior to resuming any field activities (see 4.3 Adaptive Management). iMHEA Annual Assembly The date and format of the iMHEA Assembly have been changed due to mobility restrictions and social distancing measures caused by the pandemic. The iMHEA assembly will now take place virtually in July. The agenda will include reviewing the research agenda for the regional network and updating the iMHEA protocol and specific monitoring protocols, as well as any other issues that emerge at the meeting. As part of the coordination for the assembly, NIWS shared a survey with the 17 members of iMHEA, in order to take stock of its first 10 years and prepare a strategic plan for the next 10 years that includes: i) new monitoring protocols; ii) an information system to manage the hydrometeorological database; iii) non-scientific use of shared data; and iv) a common research agenda. Additionally, the iMHEA website (xxxx://xxxxx.xxx/) has been updated with better information about the monitoring sites, based on feedback from NIWS. The updated version will be presented during the virtual sessions of the iMHEA Assembly. The website is continually improving, as partners update and add more information for each site.
