ABSTRACT: This article presents
research and development of an interoperable platform to facilitate, monitor
and coordinate groundwater data sharing. This system was orchestrated by a
number of services described by Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) such as Sensor
Observation Service (SOS) and other services for the use of mapping data, Web
Feature Services (WFS), Web Map Service (WMS), and catalogue services (CSW). An
important activity for our project was the establishment of a portal for
geographic data and services. Geoportal developed for this project will promote
and facilitate access to groundwater data and share theme more openly.
Otherwise our system has been designed to provide a powerful tool that enhances
the ability of regional staff to monitor near real-time groundwater data (i.e.piezometric level) and as a result
will help provide a more effective response to environmental upsets.
