Agrometeorological Observatory	Evaporation Stations	Evapotranspiration Stations
With IMD's technical assistance, 219 Agro-meteorological Observatories have been set up in the country by various institutions and government departments.	Evaporation is measured by US Class A Pan Evaporimeter at 232 locations in India.	Evapotranspiration measurements are made with gravimetric/volumetric lysimeters installed in crop environment at 40 stations

Pilot Balloon-cum-Micrometeorological Stations	Soil Moisture Observational Network	Dew Fall Measuring Stations
In north-west India, 7 pilot balloon-cum micrometeor-ological observatories provide low-level wind data for anti-locust operations organized by the Ministry of Agriculture.	Soil moisture data are very important for scheduling of irrigation. At present 55 soil moisture stations are functioning.	Dew fall,a secondary source of water avialable to plants, plays a significant role in plant growth, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. It is measured from September to Aplil by 75 Observatories.
