The project began in January of 2015 and involved the replacement of 22 old hydrometric stations and construction of new ones at strategic locations in the headwater catchments and along the Ok Tedi and Fly River channels.
These stations will monitor and collect hydrometric information needed to support OTML operations; such as shipping and the Bige Dredge Operation by providing hydrometric data such as rainfall, river level, river flow/ flow rates, temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction and solar radiation.
