• The new infrastructure will strengthen the Automatic Hydrological Information System (SAIH), enabling real-time monitoring of the Támoga river level, rainfall, and ambient temperature
• The project, with an investment of 47,000 euros, improves the capacity for prevention against floods and droughts in the Miño-Sil basin

Ourense, November 24, 2025.- The Miño-Sil Hydrographic Confederation O.A. (CHMS) has completed the installation of a new Automatic Hydrological Information System (SAIH) station on the Támoga river, as it passes through Toiral, in the municipality of Cospeito (Lugo). The project is framed within the European project POCTEP RISC_PLUS, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the Interreg VI A Spain-Portugal 2021-2027 program.

The work carried out has enabled the commissioning of this new hydrological control point, which incorporates specific civil works, a radar sensor for continuous monitoring of water level in the channel, as well as equipment to record rainfall and ambient temperature. The station also includes a data acquisition and processing system that sends recorded information every five minutes to the Basin Control Center (CECU), located in Ourense.

With an approximate investment of 47,000 euros, this project strengthens real-time observation capacity in the Miño-Sil hydrographic basin. The incorporation of new measurement and transmission technologies will enable more precise knowledge of the hydrometeorological behavior of the territory, optimizing water resource management and planning for adverse events.

The expansion of the SAIH Network represents a significant advance in the protection of the environment, territory, and population. Access to reliable and updated real-time data facilitates more effective decision-making by competent authorities, promoting prevention, preparedness, and response to extreme phenomena such as floods or droughts.

With this new station, the CHMS continues to strengthen its commitment to sustainable water management and the improvement of early warning systems within the framework of the RISC_PLUS project.

This project, co-financed by the European Interreg Spain-Portugal project (POCTEP) 2021-2027, is committed to solutions based on scientific knowledge, cross-border cooperation, and technological innovation, to guarantee efficient and sustainable water management in a scenario marked by climate change.
