The interoperability problems of distributed databases are important in the developing of the operatively working web services aimed for all sectors of public administration. The following web services are designed for solving tasks in water resource management and contamination evaluation sector with a due attention to the international environment protection context. The paper is devoted to problems of developing the component‐based architecture of the integrated decision‐support system that afford ground for the monitoring and intellectual analysis of water management. Such investigations are made according to the requirements of European Union (EU) Water Framework Directive, Sustainable development Directives and EIONET ReportNet infrastructure. The main components of decision‐support system are analyzed by using different knowledge modelling and web service development techniques. The structure of water resource management information system (WRMIS) becomes the core of the decision‐support system in which web services are implemented. The main components for evaluation of processes of contamination and water monitoring are represented by data warehouse structures. The solutions to satisfy the interoperability requirements are demonstrated by architectural design decisions of the system, integrating the distributed data warehouses and geographical information system means. The web services are based on common portal technology. The organizational and political arrangements require deeper and stronger participation activities by all member states of EU in reporting, understanding the importance of sustainable development problems and risk evaluation possibilities. Santrauka Vandens išteklių valdymas ir nutekamojo vandens kokybės vertinimas yra viena svarbiausių problemų, susijusių su aplinkos apsaugos ir žmonių sveikatos uždaviniais. Vanduo yra vienas iš pagrindinių išteklių visiems biologinės įvairovės gyvavimo ciklams egzistuoti. Vandens kokybės reikalavimai daro įtaką daugeliui darniosios plėtros reikalavimų. Aplinkos apsaugos principai susideda iš daugelio tarpusavyje sąveikaujančių komponentų. Didelių įmonių, institucijų ir organizacijų veikla turėtų būti grindžiama įvairiopa atsakomybe už daromos veiklos ir žalos aplinkai padarinius. Nagrinėjami informacinių sistemų, vykdančių vandens užterštumo stebėseną ir analizę, sąveikumo užtikrinimo klausimai. Informacijos perteikimo metodai yra svarbūs kuriant konsultacines sistemas, kurios padėtų spręsti daugelį sprendimų priėmimo problemų, vertinant kompleksinius aplinkos taršos procesus. Šiame straipsnyje analizuojami pagrindiniai sprendimų paramos sistemos kūrimo komponentai aplinkos vertinimo sektoriuje, leidžiantys efektyviau spręsti šias problemas naudojant E-tinklus (vertinimo tinklus, t. y. Petri tinklų praplėtimą). Modeliai, leidžiantys atvaizduoti ir vertinti sprendimų priėmimo procesus, projektuojami keliais detalumo lygmenimis, taikant semantinio informacijos struktūrizavimo ir imitacinio modeliavimo priemones. Taršos procesai stebimi vykdant monitoringą, pirminius duomenis fiksuojant daugiamatėse duomenų saugyklose ir perteikiant vartotojams sprendimų paramos sistemos analizės priemonėmis. Aprašomi vandens išteklių ir nuotekų kontrolės duomenų analizės modeliai ir gauti rezultatai. Straipsnyje analizuojami pagrindiniai sprendimų paramos sistemos komponentai ir spendimams priimti svarbūs vandens ir aplinkos vertinimo rezultatai.

This paper presents a prototype of GIS (Geographic Information System) and web-based decision support system (GWDSS) for regional water resource management and planning, which is a conjunctive application of GIS, Web and DSS technologies. The components involved and implementation of GWDSS are analyzed. The scenario analysis approach and embedded GIS functions are explained. Through the application of GWDSS in the case study region, GWDSS enables managers and decision makers to improve the regional strategic management and planning of water resources,and optimizes the use of water to satisfy the demands of competing stakeholders and protecting water resources.

The current technologies are predominantly attract the water resource management(WRM); if this water can not adequately utilizing for human activities, then several future problems are happening. Therefore super hydro controlling technology and it’s management systems are necessary. In this investigation, various water resource management methodologies, it’s merits and demerits are reviewed. The 2R-decision support system(DESS) implementation can change the conventional water management mechanisms, DESS addresses the engineering and non-engineering issues related to WRM system. The global WRM system designs and utilizations are facing many questionaries from experts. In India, there are many WRMs, but these are work for the nation, due to this limitation nations are facing many contemporary issues. Several methods have overcome these limitations but 2R-DESS answering the complete and accurate solutions to WRM. The advanced WRM system and its functionalities are verified on one example with the river basin agencies through DESS adequately. In this research work, for WRM calculating the various measures such as catchment area improvement, supply flow, upper flow, lower flow and acknowledgement of various effecting factors. The designed 2R DESS challenging the present WRM methodologies and results outperforms present technologies.

CAP Group is a public company, supplying the municipalities within the provinces of Milan and Monza/Brianza (Northern Italy) with the integrated water service: 197 municipalities and more than 2 million users served, 887 wells, 154 wall-mounted tanks and hubs, a water supply network of over 7500 km, from which approximately 250 million cubic metres of water per year are withdrawn. The drinking water supply comes exclusively from groundwater resources, circulating in several overlapping aquifer systems. Basin-scale water resource management, as required by the European Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC), is an extremely complex task. In view of this backdrop, CAP is currently developing a project called Infrastructural Aqueduct Plan that relies on a Decision Support System approach. The paper describes the preliminary steps concerning the design of a prototype Decision Support System aiming at the management of groundwater resources on a basin scale (Ticino and Adda rivers area). CAP Group Decision Support System is intended to be a package allowing for water resource assessment, identification of boundary conditions, climatic driving forces and demographic pressures, simulation and investigation of future forecasts and comparison of alternative policy measures. The project has been designed in steps including Geodatabase building, geographic information system (GIS) analysis (including multilayer analysis) and numerical modelling. The data collected in the geodatabase were analyzed to design GIS quantitative and qualitative thematic maps in order to perform the multilayer analysis of current and future state and impacts, for providing the decision maker with a comprehensive picture of the water system. The multilayer analysis relies on specific indicators based on some quantitative and qualitative data: hydrogeological, chemical, isotopic, soil use and hazards, climatic and demographic. Each parameter belonging to these macro areas were classified by 7-criticality classes scale and weights were assigned to each of them. For each macro area a synthetic index was calculated by multiplying class values with weights. These synthetic indexes were managed with a multilayer approach and compared with other models and tools (e.g. geological model, numerical groundwater model, distribution network model) in order to obtain criticality indexes. The assessment of these criticality indexes allow to evaluate alternative and strategic solutions to achieve a more efficient and sustainable water system management using a best choice approach. Currently the project team is working on multilayer analysis. The next task will be the implementation of groundwater numerical model.
