| TITLE: | Information system for planning the water economy of Israel |
|---|---|
| PROBLEM: | The planning of a water-related project requires a multitude of different, yet interrelated, data categories. At present these data are scattered in different places, stored in different ways and formats, and often inaccessible. |
| OBJECTIVES: | To build a national data base to meet the planning needs of Israel’s water economy, and to enable an easy and convenient access to data. |
| APPROACH: | Survey of data requirements, identification of permanent data sources, and arrangement of procedures for a regular transfer of data from the sources to the data base. |
| BEGINNING DATE: | 1.8.1994 |
| ENDING DATE: | 31.8.1997 |
| CURRENT PROGRESS: | A relational Data Base of ACESS has been established. At this stage it allows an easy retrieval of raw data which have been collected from various governmental and public agencies on the basis of established procedures. The next step in the development of the system includes the creation of links between its components. |
