Water resources management is a significant issue in Taiwan because of the extensive mountain areas, vulnerable geological structures, short and rapid river flows, inconsistent precipitation, and difficulties in water storage and resource allocation. This article describes how to apply Esri ArcIMS, ArcGIS series, and self-developed components to develop the relative management application systems for the central government agencies. WMS and WFS were combined with the application to share the water conservation information to other public agencies needed. The hybrid mode Web GIS systems were designed for providing spatial queries for flood area calculations, debris flow location, river bank locating piles, display DEM charts, concatenate construction data between different organizations by service oriented architecture that also provided users fast browsing and useful GIS functionalities, which can be an essential tool of decision supporting for water resource conversation policy makers.
