Smart Basin and its Application in Integrated Management of River Basin

An important concept called Smart Basin and its theoretical framework are proposed to cope with the complex situation of water resources caused by the global climate change and excessive human activities. The paper analyses the strategic demand and the technical impetus factor making Smart Basin emergence, elaborates its implication and the connotation,designs its overall frame, and introduces the key technologies and the supported platform used by it. And then applications of Smart Basin in the field of flood control, drought resist, pollution prevention and water resources management are studied. As the highest development level of water resources informatization, Smart Basin will generate new growth points of discipline and have a good application prospect in the every field of integrated watershed management.
