The missions of the SCHAPI are the following:

• Establish and publish daily, in liaison with the Flood Forecasting Services (SPC), a national "flood" vigilance map with real-time online hydrometric data of rivers,
• To provide the Flood Forecasting Services (SPC) and Hydrometric Units (HU) spread over the national territory with a general support mission: animation, assistance, advice, training, development of operational tools,
• Collecting hydrometeorological data from different data producers at a national level and in real time.

Within the framework of its support mission, SCHAPI has been in charge since 2004 of the national markets for the supply of hydrometric data acquisition stations, for all SPCs and HUs. The objective is to homogenize equipment, communication protocols and practices (installation, maintenance, training, technical assistance).

The SHAPI and all the decentralized services of the state (SPC, UH...) showed and confirmed their confidence in PARATRONIC by entrusting it initially, then by renewing the exclusiveness of the supply of the hydrometric measurement stations.

Thus since 2004, it is approximately 3000 sites which were equipped with PARATRONIC materials by the various services (see below the list of the services profiting from the framework market).
