Measure the variables of surface water, groundwater and water quality with the appropriate frequency, ensuring continuity where it is already measured and increasing coverage in priority sites in the country, in order to efficiently manage and preserve the national waters.

The infrastructure for measuring surface water consists of automatic equipment. Automatic stations are contemplated for the measurement of climatological variables, levels and flows in the main basins, rivers and dams of the country.

The measurement infrastructure considers:
- Manual measurement of a piezometric monitoring network that consists of carrying out measurements of the depth and elevation of the groundwater level periodically in pilot wells that make up the networks, in order to obtain the evolution of groundwater levels over time.
- Automatic probes are proposed for the continuous measurement and recording of variations in the level of groundwater (piezometric level) inside a well, which is abandoned and without pumping equipment. The automatic probe is designed to measure and record two parameters: the ground water temperature and the hydraulic load (atmospheric pressure plus water stress) at the installation depth.
- Instant manual measurement, which considers sampling, determination of field parameters and laboratory analysis. The average number of analytical determinations is approximately 40 and can reach more than 250 in the case of Special Studies.
- Automatic measurement with online sensors. Through this type of measurement it is possible to obtain results immediately, which allow the implementation of effective actions.
