Web-Based Dam Operation System Using GIS
Track: Water Resources
Author(s): Yungsuk Yoon

orea Water Resources Corporation (KOWACO) operates multipurpose dams in Korea. Various computer systems support operations, including weather forecasting, flood control, water usage, hydropower generation, environment, water sales, etc.



KOWACO has recently developed a Web-based GIS system using Esri ArcIMS and ArcSDE to maintain dam-related spatial data and to make effective use of dam support systems. The GIS system works with the 'dam operation systems' utilizing its spatial data.



In this presentation, how the GIS system works effectively will be presented using real-time-based dam operations in conjunction with spatial data.



Below are the main functions of the GIS system.



Weather: Retrieving typhoon tracking with various options

Flood: Coloring stations by water level, coloring flood hazard regions by water level

Dam operation: Thiessen polygons creation, rainfall chart creation, coloring rainfall stations

Environment: Water quality distribution chart

Dam safety: Real-time epicenters presentation

Water sales: Customers location
