From Study to Design of an Information Database for Integrated Water Resources Management of Changzhi City

Abstract

Some management information databases (MIBS) have been developed in recent years to help the water resource managers with more effective and fast work. Yet few integrated models of water resources management can be observed so far. This paper discussed and designed the Integrated Water Resources Management Information Database (IWRMI-Database) for Changzhi City, Shanxi Province. In this database, the requirements of water-use statistics, water intake permission and levy on water resources were studied in detail, the data which play a decisive role in management were analyzed, and the concept and physical models of the database were built with the modeling tool, Sybase Power Designer, which greatly saved the development time.
