Title: The hydroinformatics approach to integrated river basin management


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

  • 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/negot
    iation 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
HydroEuropeHydroinformatics the education for
future
  • Learning hydroinformatics concepts by internet
    based collaboration
  • different teams, different institutes, common
    problem

Collaboration in virtual work- spaces
  • Target of Web based collaborative engineering is
    to overcome the spatial distribution of experts
    involved in a common engineering project.
  • Core idea is to set up virtual work spaces - the
    transmission of a real common working room
  • In parallel to reality the involved experts enter
    the virtual work spaces by a 'virtual door' the
    access to a web services.

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

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

Conclusions
  • Hydroinformatics offers clear possibilities for
    implementing the IRBM concept
  • HydroEurope
  • Experience was challenging and motivating
  • Possible future developments of hydroinformatics
