ABSTRACT
To promote the advancement of novel observation techniques that may lead to new sources of
information to help better understand the hydrological cycle, the International Association of
Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) established the Measurements and Observations in the XXI century
(MOXXI) Working Group in July 2013. The group comprises a growing community of techenthusiastic
hydrologists that design and develop their own sensing systems, adopt a multidisciplinary
perspective in tackling complex observations, often use low-cost equipment intended
for other applications to build innovative sensors, or perform opportunistic measurements. This
paper states the objectives of the group and reviews major advances carried out by MOXXI
members toward the advancement of hydrological sciences. Challenges and opportunities are
outlined to provide strategic guidance for advancement of measurement, and thus discovery.
