The Project accomplished part of the rehabilitation of 43 hydrological stations by providing the stations with
flow rate measurement equipment. This has been of great significance to the generation of hydroelectric power,
as well as to the inventory of the hydrological resources. The provision of 30 three-band transceiver radios has
significantly increased the volume of hourly meteorological data collection, strengthened the national Weather
Watch and given support to natural disaster reduction.
The implementation of the new two-way satellite telecommunication system which replaced the obsolete CEMET network was initiated in December 1994 and the system has been operating since its installation in November 1995. After the completion of the broadcasting facilities and the installation of the software Version 2.0 in June 1996 the system reached its full operational level. A refresher course on the new system was held in July-August 1996 in all the countries in the Central American Isthmus.
