14 Hydrogeologic Information System(HIS) Hydrogeologic Information System Hydrologic dataHydrogeologic data Environmental dataMeteorological data  Management of the catchments area  Management of the regions  Determination of the hydrologic characteristics  Calculate the inflow Water in each Catchment  Characteristics of 2460 Well  Dams and lakes characteristics  Climat data: Temperature Rainfall Wind Evaporation  Treatment station plant Generality of STEP Affluents STEP Effluents STEP  Hydrogeologic characteristics of the Groundwater

15 Hydrologic data Hydrogeologic data Meteorological data Environmental data GIS data Main interface of the HIS

16 Interest of the Hydrogeologic Information System  A Data Bank with a maximum of data about region’s feature (hydrological, hydrogeological, environmental, meteorological, soil, GIS data…)  Regroup and organize data in the same frame. The scatting of the hydrogeological data about the catchment area will be a hurdle behind researches  Update will be very easy since data will be centralized  Simulation of water inflow in the catchment  Conception allowing making additions of new frames and modules  We can manage a SHP files without using ArcView
