Dare to share !

• An efficiënt and effective approach to drought and

flooding problems requires various types of

information; like meteorological data, hydrological

data, land use, soil, etc.

• These data is generally scattered available (at

different places and organizations)

• One information platform that is able to connect all

types of data bases, monitoring systems and models,

is necessary for solving the problem.

Cooperation

Lizardthe Dutch Information platform

• An open source system, providing a generic

framework, thats connects all types of data and

model systems

• Various companies develop applications (apps)

Dutch Delta Portal(all information on the Dutch Delta programme)

Many applications

Rain Nowcasting(all meteo info; incl. rain radar Nls, Germany + Be)

2D Flood modelling

11

Damage

Levee Portal & DDSC(all information on levees and dikes)

Ground Water data

.. and various other apps

• NHI (National Hydrological Instrumentarium)

• National monitoring system for ecology and

water quality

• National database on flood risks

(15.000 models and scenario’s; on-line !)

• Satellite data

Applications abroad

• Nepal (Hydrological database)

• Poland (Soil moisture measurements)

• Romenia (WQ using satellite)

• China (droughts)

• Vietnam (Mekong Delta Portal)

Rural Water Supply and Sanitation
