  1. The hydroinformatics approach to integrated river basin management Dr. A. JONOSKI Dr. I. POPESCU Delft, The Netherlands

  2. Contents • IRBM and WFD • Hydroinformatics and IRBM • HydroEurope – web based hydroinformatics education

  3. IRBM • IRBM • Harmonisation of river basin functions and regions • Can be introduced at different levels • Operational management • Planning • Analytical support • Institutional framework • Two overarching conditions • Stakeholder and public involvement • Access to relevant data, information & knowledge

  4. IRBM and WFD • WFD embraces IRBM concept • Sustainable water use is the overall objective of WFD, but it has clear environmental focus • IRBM concept is still broader, and in many cases approaches should be taken which go beyond the WFD • WFD requires the two overarching conditions • No guidelines on how to accomplish them

  5. IRBM Challenges and contradictions • Institutional arrangements • Single river basin authority? • Representative river basin commissions? • The unit of river basin is still alien to many communities • People intimate themselves with other types of social groupings • IRBM concept cannot be simply ‘imposed’ • It has to start from addressing immediate concerns of stakeholders, groups and individuals • Inherent contradiction • ‘Integrated’ versus ‘inclusive of all interests’ • Very diverse understanding of ‘public participation’

  6. Hydroinformatics and IRBM • Hydroinformatics: technology that offers possibilities for addressing IRBM critical conditions • mathematical modeling, information and communication technology, computer sciences applied to problems of aquatic environment with the aim of proper management and control

  7. Hydroinformatics approach to IRBM • Modeling systems: • Relevant knowledge becomes accessible to wide range of professional users (instead of limited number of developers) • Hydroinformatics systems: • Integration of measuring equipment, data processing utilities, GIS, with modeling, for purposes of decision making • Next step - stakeholder and public involvement: • Network Distributed Decision Support Systems (NDDSSs)

  8. NDDSSs concept • Internet as a platform • Three components: • Fact engine, judgment engine & collaboration/negotiation platform • Ways for development and introduction: • Through interactive multiplayer games • Joint government and NGO actions • Through the market – directly • The concept critically depends on human resources: • Wider exposure to hydroinformatics concepts • Especially for the young water professionals • Simultaneous introduction in different countries

  9. Collaboration framework Group 1 On-line learning environment Internet-based platform www.hydro-web.org Group profile User 1 - user profile- User 2 - user profile- User 3 - user profile- Group 2 HydroEuropeHydroinformatics: the education for future • Learning hydroinformatics concepts by internet based collaboration • different teams, different institutes, common problem www.hydro-web.org

  10. HydroEuropeHydroinformatics:the education for future

  11. HydroEurope CHAT Data preparation Modeling Reporting E-MAIL DCMS NETMEETING Remote collaboration First phase (~3 months) Face to face collaboration Second phase (2 weeks)

  12. Qmax = 3200 m3/s HydroEurope • Flood analisys techniques applied to the Var catchement by • Simulating the 1994 flood event and test different scenarios to select one which minimize risk of future flood

  13. Flood Section Napoleon Bridge Approx 700m HydroEurope-problem solution Input Data •Two Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) •Topology of the river network GIS Modeling • Area, river length and slope of sub-catchments • Rainfall intensity was available at six rainfall stations Runoff calculation ( MIKE SHE ) • Discharge •Geometry of the river network deduced from DEMs Simulation with MIKE 11 Conclusion

  14. Conclusions • Hydroinformatics offers clear possibilities for implementing the IRBM concept • HydroEurope • Experience was challenging and motivating • Possible future developments of hydroinformatics education in BALWOIS area
