Digitized data availability?How much of the current water quantity dataflow is performed in electronic format?

- (110/40) Stations 36% - 1961-2008

How much is still in analogue format?

- 70 Stations 54% - (1961-2008) and

95% of data from period 1947-1961 and 2009-2012

To which degree are water quantity information flows automated?

- 0o

How do you plan to optimize streamline the water quantity dataflow?

- Modernization of hydrological network, employing new hydrologists, training, new software,…

DEMAS System for collecting, and presenting transmitted data

HydroPro Data Base & Data Management System

for storage and operation of the hydrological

data

LACK OF IT AND HYDROLIGST ENGINEERS

Improvement of dataflow process?In what way should the water quantity dataflow process be improved?

- With employing new hydrologists for producing data and improving QA;

- With Training;

- With updating of our database&management system, or with buying new one;

- With modernizing hydrological network with automatic stations;

- With improving O&M of the stations networks;

- With improving data dissemination through internet ;…

How do you plan IT to support you in this?

- With employment of IT Engineers

- With Training;

- With new software.
