World Summit on
Information Society
Phase I: Geneva 2003
Phase II: Tunis 2005
More than 140 countries and 12000
participations to attend the Summit
ICT Based Near Real Time Remote
Sensing Data Sharing System for
Water Resources Research and
Management of China
Presentation by Liu Chuang, LI Maotang
WSIS Tunis, 16 Nov. 2006
There is an urgent need for China
water resources research and
management to have a near real time
information sharing and quick
response system, especially for
economic uses of water resources,
reducing natural hazards and water
pollution, protecting the dams
security and scientific research on
water-soil erosions.
Supported by Ministry of Science
and Technology of China, Ministry
of Water Resources Management of
China and Chinese Academy of
Sciences, the ICT based remote
sensing information sharing system
for water resources research and
management of China has been
initialed.
It consists 5 sub-systems, including :
• A distributed satellites data capture and
processing sub-system in Beijing and
Xinjiang,
• An aircrafts remote sensing system with
fixed and moved ground stations,
• An integrated telecommunication
satellite and high speed internet subsystem,
• A data processing, integration and
mining sub-system and
• A multiple applications sub-system.
This is an unique facility and
information infrastructure for near
real time water related information
sharing system in China, which
marks a new milestone in e-research
and e-management of water resource
of China in the information society,
it will greatly help China in
Sustainable Development and better
life.
2. User Survey Continues:
Are there any programs or action plans
which missionary are close to that of
WGISS?
If yes, which kinds of WGISS’ resources
have been used in these programs?
Are there any new products created by these
programs (data/tools/systems)?
