Abstract
The HeiHe Watershed Allied Telemetry Experimental Research (HiWATER) is a research project that builds a world-class watershed observing system to improve the observability of hydrological and ecological processes. To achieve this goal, some observation stations and sensor networks were established. In order to make these disparate sensors in the networks easily discoverable and accessible, we used the Sensor Model Language (SensorML) to model these sensors and sensor systems in the stations. In this paper, we firstly introduce the SensorML and then mainly present a model of the HiWATER based on SensorML. In order to meet some special requirements of the project, we customize some element of the metadata group and design the particular processes for the model. The model laid a solid foundation for later design and study in HiWATER.
