WP-D: Environmental Information System

The previous chapters gave detailed insight into the collection of environmental data and the use of that data for purposes such as determining and improving water quality, dealing with extreme weather events, or the planning of waste water management systems. However, adequate visualisation techniques are required to communicate the significance of this work and the consequences of research results to stakeholders or laymen. In addition, sustainable management of water resources requires well-engineered software solutions that can be operated by regional authorities and operating companies. To this end, the “Urban Catchments”-project includes the adaption and adjustment of software frameworks for the region around Chao Lake.
