HESS Opinions: Towards a common vision for the future of hydrological observatories by P. Nasta, G. Blöschl, G. Blöschl, H. R. Bogena, S. Zacharias, R. Baatz, G. De Lannoy, K. H. Jensen, S. Manfreda, L. Pfister, L. Pfister, A. M. Tarquis, I. van Meerveld, M. Voltz, Y. Zeng, W. Kustas, X. Li, H. Vereecken, N. Romano

“…The already existing monitoring infrastructures have provided an enormous amount of hydrometeorological data, facilitating detailed insights into the causal mechanisms of hydrological processes, the testing of scientific theories and hypotheses, and the revelation of the physical laws governing catchment behavior. Yet, hydrological monitoring programs have often produced limited outcomes due to the intermittent availability of financial resources and the substantial efforts required to operate observatories and conduct comparative studies to advance previous findings. …”
