The Amazon Networks module serves as a comprehensive repository housing data from 244 physical and virtual stations, meticulously collected by ACTO Member Countries and the HYBAM Network. These stations are ingeniously organized into two regional networks: the Amazon Hydrological Network (AHN) and the Water Quality Network (WQN). Operating in collaboration with Amazonian countries, the HYBAM Network serves as a crucial research support service, dedicated to conducting extensive hydrological, sedimentary, and geochemical measurements. These efforts aim to unravel the intricate origins and evolution of water and transported materials, such as sediments, organic matter, and nutrients, across Amazonian rivers, from the Andes to the Atlantic Ocean.

The data provided encompasses a wide array of vital metrics, including rainfall, river levels and flows, as well as insights into flows, effluents, and the levels and volumes of various reservoirs within the Amazon Basin. This wealth of information plays an indispensable role in managing water resources and facilitating diverse economic activities like power generation, irrigation, navigation, and industrial operations. Furthermore, it underpins the intricate design, maintenance, and operation of hydraulic infrastructures, spanning from small-scale urban storm drainage systems to large-scale dams.

Beyond mere monitoring, this dataset empowers stakeholders to monitor critical hydrological events such as floods and droughts and devise effective measures to mitigate their ensuing impacts. Furthermore, in several instances, the dataset facilitates the simulation and prediction of hydrological events, enabling stakeholders to anticipate and address their ramifications across urban and rural areas within diverse watersheds.
