Track: Water Resources
GIS for Sustaining Water Resource in the Heihe Catchment
Li XinCheng Guodong , Ding Yongjian
Water resource is the key factor to influence social and environmental development in arid and semiarid regions. A water resource information system had been established in the Heihe catchment for managing, planning water resources, and helping build a spatial decision making system and models for regional sustainable development. In setting up the information system, a detailed design had been worked out in order to extend the system to a wider region such as the Hexi Corridor. Meanwhile, some new methods were used such as open database connectivity (ODBC) and object-oriented analysis. They were used for developing water resource models, designing a GIS-DSS-model interface, and integrating the system.
