Outline
Introduction Overview of GIS based information and decision support systems GIS as a platform for inter-disciplinary communication: eco-system case study hydropower plant Altenwrth (Danube) DOLWIS Donau Landschafts- und Wasserwirtschafts-Informationssystem HA Hydrological Atlas of Austria Summary
Introduction
Increasing inter-disciplinary approach to hydrological and water management problems Interaction between water and related areas like agriculture, forestry, ecology or spatial planning Different scales of time and space Wide bandwidth of water management information systems

DOLWIS
Cooperation between IWHW und AU Gdll (H): Digital Visual Landscape Inventory for the Danube between Vienna and Budapest, Racz et al., 1996 digital database for water management, hydrology and landscape planning to combine the heterogenuous database in a common reference system and to make it accessible in a uniform, user friendly system

there was no spatially consistent, map-based presentation of the hydrology of Austria a large amount of relevant information exists, but they are not fully compatible, do not have a common cartographic base, ... for some elements, like groundwater, erosion, extreme precipitation, snow cover, spatially consistent maps are missing at all new hydrologic atlasses in CH and D

Objectives
basic information for water resources planning modern instrument for public authorities (reporting to EU) transfer hydrologic knowledge to a wider public promote water awareness in higher education present Austria as a whole (not the details) target groups: Hydrologists, Planners in related disciplines, hydraulic engineers, consultants, politicians, higher education it will NOT be THE Hydrological Information System of Austria with detailed and current data

Summary HAA
The Hydrological Atlas of Austria is a dual cartographic product, consisting of a printed and a digital, GIS-based version The printed edition contains maps in high cartographic quality GIS-based presentation is achieved by a digHAOviewer developed with MapObjects LT2 User-friendly access to HAA contents and linked information The most important feature of the digital HAA is the provision of data in a format that enables users to incorporate them in their own projects and programs for regional hydrological studies
44
Summary HAA
digHAO presents the contents of the HAA in the corresponding information density and is thus not THE all-including hydrological information system of Austria! HAA was published in a series of 3 instalments 2003 2007 Final contents: 51 map sheets, including > 100 maps Distribution: sterreichischer Kunst- und Kulturverlag, Wien office@kunstundkulturverlag.at

Summary
Water management or hydrological components of a DSS are often not indepent tools, but rather part of a comprehensive environmental information system, in which GIS has an important role, integrating different disciplines Pure information systems almost completely in GIS Decision Support Systems also contain analytical model components GIS support for eco-system study suitability of GIS to support inter-disciplinary communication DOLWIS Integration of diverse data sources by a Desktop-GIS HAA GIS support of dual cartography
