The Euromediterranean Network of Experimental and Representative Basins (ERB) is an open association of 22 European countries operating and managing well instrumented experimental and representative basins for hydrological and environmental research on a long term basis.

ERB was established in 1986 and has organized fourteen biennial conferences since its beginning. The main objectives of ERB are :

  • To increase relationships between members, research teams, universities and basin managers, through exchanges of hydrological information, data, research methods, models and to organise visits and biennial conferences;
  • To enable joint studies of common interest
  • To promote exchange data between research groups.
  • To harmonize methods of data collection and processing.
