Motivation
Amount and types of data available at local and global scale at
increasingly higher temporal and spatial resolution
Accessing and integrating these data for modeling and decision making
purposes can be challenging and highly time consuming
Enable collection and sharing of data coming from complex water
resources domains and managed by multiple institutions
Platform for comparatively analyzing alternative water management
strategies

Complex water resources contexts
The participation and interaction of all
the stakeholders affected by the system
management (e.g., water managers,
hydropower companies, farmers)
through the use the web geo-server has
indeed the potential for enhancing the
efficiency of water management
practices

Objectives
The case study focuses on the analysis of the main
components of the Lake Como system and the different
water-related interests involved. In other words,
understanding of the reciprocal feedbacks between the
decisions made in the system, such as modifications of
the upstream reservoirs or Lake Como operations, or
changes in the crops type cultivated in the downstream
agricultural districts

How to access and exploit all this
information?
7. 11th International Conference on Hydroinformatics
HIC 2014, New York City, USA
A web geo-service can allow the exploration of the
potential benefits achievable by adopting coordination
strategies between the actors involved. Significant
advantages can be obtained through a coordinated
management of Lake Como and the upstream reservoirs,
as well as by tuning the lake releases to match the actual
water demand of the crops cultivated in the irrigation
districts downstream.

Why ?
Previous experience
Most popular, well documented, large community CMS between
joomla and wordpress
More advanced geospatial funzionalities (Geoserver and
OpenLayers modules)
Why a CMS ?
Administration: user account, permissions and roles
Extendibility : modules or plugins
Data and content management: organize, structure, find and re-
use content
Accessibility on multiple devices

Final remarks
The use of the CMS is crucial for collection, storage, sharing and
visualization of geodata in complex water resources management
contexts, especially for its user permission and content management
functionality.
The proposed architecture combines different software that answers
the need of an easy, self-explainable access interface for a multiple
variety of users demands
In the future, the web geo-service architecture can be enriched with
the use of Web Processing Service (WPS). This could allow the users
to run the model through the web, changing some predefined model
parameters.
