Paper
ArcGIS Server Helps Water Resources Management
Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Author(s): Fabio Oliosi, Stéphane Storelli

In Alpine regions and in many regions of Europe small local administrations (Communes) manage water sources and distribution. The quality, the available quantity and the cost of water may vary from valley to valley and from village to village. Very often, when big differences exist, a waste of this precious resource somehow occurs. Web GIS technology may help to share geographic knowledge and improve water cycle management.

With a financial aid of Swiss Confederation, some private firms, public administrations and universities in West Switzerland carried out SyGEMe project.

SyGEMe's goal is to build up a common IT infrastructure and web services to support small water network managers. GIS is the best platform to carry out specific analysis over a bigger water basin and helps managers to synchronize their actions on the network.

This paper presents some interesting aspects of this project and emphasizes the role of ArcGIS Server.
