10. HYDROCAREHYDROCAREHYDROCAREHYDROCARE PP6 - National Technical University of Athens 10 ACTION 2.9 The sitting of the stations was based on the following criteria:  Meteorological, as the low barometric systems arrive from west, south-west and north-west direction  Elevation, to record the increased amounts of precipitation in high-land areas  Security, accessibility and infrastructure facilities  Topographical, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) regulations ( The stations are placed on land with even slopes, far from trees or buildings and relieved from local atmospherical turbulences)

11. HYDROCAREHYDROCAREHYDROCAREHYDROCARE PP6 - National Technical University of Athens 11 ACTION 2.9 The effectiveness of the rainfall measuring stations depends on the quality and kind of the instruments, but moreover on the correct placement which is based on certain criteria such as the placement on land with even slopes, the accessibility and the closeness to special interest points (settlements, surface waters, drilling and natural resources complexes etc.) Kefalonia Island was separated in three different hypsometrical zones: Zone A: 0-200 m Zone A: 0-200 m Zone B: 200-500 m Zone B: 200-500 m Zone C: >500 m Zone C: >500 m
