Summary
(Summary adapted from HyDRO web pages)

HyDRO is the Global Hydrology Resource Center's (GHRC) search,
retrieval, and order system for hydrologic data. HyDRO can provides
users with a list of datasets specific to user selected requirements
such as geographic area of interest, date, project, and instrument. Results are
grouped in folders by project name and can be regrouped by campaign,
platform, sensor, or parameter. Users can view data set associated
with each folder, examine additional data set information, download
the online datasets via FTP, or place an order which is mailed on tape
or CD-ROM.
