A new environmental information system (SIEREM) for Africa is available, which provides metadata for hydrometrical and meteorological stations, spatial information like catchment boundaries, rainfall grids and a geo-referenced photo album. HydroSciences Montpellier Laboratory has developed the system, which can be freely downloaded and used by all FRIEND groups in Africa and other UNESCO programmes. IRD provides the data base architecture for FRIEND. Now IRD provides with SIEREM an additional platform for any users dealing with water and climate issues in Africa.
