In 2026, the hydrological station "Ryta River – Malyye Radvanichi" of the "Brestoblhydromet" Branch of Belhydromet is marking a momentous date.
Exactly 100 years ago, regular observations of the Ryta River regime began here, and throughout all these years, the station has remained a vital link in the region's water body monitoring system.
Over 100 years of uninterrupted service, a unique wealth of data has been accumulated on water level fluctuations, temperature regimes, and ice phenomena. This information is invaluable not only for flood forecasting but also for ensuring public safety.
Fyodor and Valentina Gilyazetdinov have been working at the hydrological station for over 20 years. Their work is crucial and demands total dedication, as they follow a strict schedule to monitor water levels and temperatures in all weather conditions. In addition, they maintain the beauty and order of the station's grounds.

Belhydromet congratulates the hydrological station "Ryta River – Malyye Radvanichi" on its 100th anniversary! One hundred years of continuous operation represent an entire era, filled with painstaking daily work and precision - a living history in which every measurement and every indicator has become a building block in the foundation of modern hydrology.
Special words of gratitude go to Fyodor and Valentina Gilyazetdinov, who have been faithfully and responsibly carrying out their watch for more than 20 years. You continue the station's glorious traditions, carefully passing on experience and maintaining the highest standards of work. We wish the station's team new achievements, stability, prosperity, and many more years of successful work. May the station's history continue, and may its contribution to science and safety remain as significant as ever!
