After that, follows the establishing of series of water gage stations like BezDay (1856), Zemun (1859), Slankamen (1888), Novi Becej (1855), Senta (1860) etc. Before establishing of this station, observations of water stage were performed, but these observation were not connected with permanent water gage station. For example, in the hystorical archives in Sremski Karlovci, data abot water stages existed at BezDay before the permanent station was established, but it’s unknown where the location of that station was.
