* A major “grip” for the EU Sustainable Development Strategy

* Applied at the beginning of the policy definition, specially to all major policies.

* “Member States should carry out impact assessments where they use the right of initiative for new legislation. They should also be encouraged to define standards for consultation and impact assessment”

* A driving force for the Sustainability research28th May, 2010

Concept

• Based on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) impact rating for ecosystem stability and changes to nature's services

• Decision-makers consider environmental impacts before deciding whether to proceed with new projects

5th eLearning Africa 2010 Conference

• NNR goes beyond EIA and introduces a tool that not only looks at the environmental - but also at the economic and social impacts = integrated EIA

1. The main objective is to present extended functionality of existing regional Flood Portal - online available spatial analysis possibilities

2. For the communication between the mapping application (client) and GRASS GIS, OGC Web Processing Service protocol was used (implemented by PyWPS on the server-side).

3. The functionality was made by using GRASS GIS modules:r.lake … for flooding r.drain … for runoffr.water.outlet … for catchement r.los … for visibility

WHAT IS WHAT

1. Flood Portal of Liberec Region what it ismaps and datatechnical outlines

2. Technologiesserver: PyWPS, Grass GIS, UMN Mapservclient: HS-RS DHTML Mapping client

3. PyWPS demonstration

FLOOD PORTALAn obligatory document for flood commissions managementThe obligation to have prepared Flood Plan arises from Water Law (254/2001 Sb.) for all level of local governments.Liberec Region Flood Plan had to be ratified by Liberec Region Council (in April 2004) and had to correspond with superior Flood Plan of Czech Republic (acquired in September 2004)

ON-LINE AVAILABLE AT http://flood.kraj-lbc.cz

DATA AND MAPS – BACKGROUND DATASETS• ZABAGED (Fundamental Base of Geographic Data) 1 : 10 000, The Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping and Cadastre, Updated 2009 • Ortophotomap 20 cm per pixel, Geodis 2006• Digital model of terrain, Geodis 2005• Administrative boundaries and addresses points, Czech Statistical Office, 2009 ….

DATA AND MAPS – THEMATIC DATASETS• Flood warning profiles (level A, B, C) • Water level recorders• Drainage areas and water basins• Endangered objects• Dangerous objects • Civil protection facilities (evacuation facilities, emergency water supply, decontamination services, emergency survival facilities)• Sirens

FLOOD PORTAL GENERAL OUTLINESMaximum of simplicity for using (simplification of control, reduction of unused part of content, highlighting of important parts…)Publicity for obtaining broad base of users (flood portal is presented to all mayors of Liberec Region, to all teachers of civil education in Region, to all environment workers from municipalities every year)Connection into other relevant systems (Czech Republic Flood Plan, IS of Crisis management…)

FLOOD PORTAL TECHNICAL OUTLINES - possibility to create on-line overview maps and time series- shared common work place (discussion forum)-online alarm messages from Integrated Warning Service by CHMI are accepted (by XML files)- online transport services of Czech Central Transport Information Centre are integrated (income status online traffic closures, traffic accidents and road meteorological services for the region)- export flood commissions database into central system of Czech Republic Flood Plan (by XML file)- RSS-channel was set

OGC Web Processing Service

OGC’s Web Processing Service is defining the way, geoprocessing operations should be offered over networks using Web Services.

Can be configured to offer any sort of GIS functionality to clients across a network.

Data can be stored on the server, sent with the request or stored on remote servers (WCS, WFS, . . . )

The GIS functionality is referred as process

Scope: To move the geospatial calculations from client to server

1. Spatial analysis - CATCHMENT / BASINCalculation of the catchment area for a given point.

To achieve meaningful results it is necessary to enter a point on Thalweg.

The result is the area from which water flows to the specified point

The calculated data can be downloaded in GeoTIFF format

2. Spatial analysis - RUNOFFCalculate fluid drain path from the specified location. The calculation can be used as a quick graphical representation of risk in case of leakage flows hazardous liquids.

The calculated data can be downloaded like GML
