Hydrometry is the monitoring of the components of the hydrological cycle including rainfall, groundwater characteristics, as well as water quality and flow characteristics of surface waters.[1] The etymology of the term hydrometry derives from the Greek: Hydro = water; metros = measuring.
The principal organisation in charge of gauging the UK's river network is the Environment Agency. SEPA are responsible in Scotland.
