- International Soil Moisture Network - The International Soil Moisture Network is an international cooperation to establish and maintain a global in-situ soil moisture database.
- National Hydrological Monitoring Programme - The National Hydrological Monitoring Programme (NHMP) is undertaken jointly by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology and the British Geological Survey. The Programme aims to provide an authoritative voice on hydrological conditions throughout the UK.
- UK Water Resources Portal - The UK Water Resources Portal is a unique web-based system for tracking the hydrological situation in near-real-time. It offers dynamic, interactive situation monitoring, mapping and plotting and a wide range of variables including rainfall, river flow, groundwater levels and soil moisture measurements (from COSMOS-UK).
