                         developments into the Amazon floodplain.. since 2002 a project has 
                         been carried out in a floodplain lake, Curuai Lake, set near 
                         Santar{\'e}m. Par{\'a} State. The fIrst step in the project was 
                         to use a series of Landsat- TM images to seasonally monitor water 
                         exchanges of the Terra Firme Rivers and Amazon River and the 
                         floodplain lakes. Based on this study a suitable site was selected 
                         t'J install an automatic monitoring system, which allows for 
                         quasi-conIinuous in sim measurements of a pool of atmospheric and 
                         aquatic variables. The collected data is sent through a satellite 
                         link to researchers. These data are submined to a series of 
                         analyses and stored in a database. As the program continues. there 
                         will be base line information against which environrnental impacts 
                         can be checked and enforcement undertaken to guarantee a
