Water Management System – WMS (2007)
What is the Water Management System?
The Water Management System is a computer system designed to support the water resource management function of DWAF with emphasis on water and environmental quality
The WMS system consist of three sub-systems:
MM
is used to manage resource quality operational monitoring on a National basis in an effective and efficient manner
WRM
is used to achieve the sustainable use of water and the protection of the quality of the water resource
GIS
is used to geographically display Water Resource information in order to assist in interpreting and determining the quality and the status of the water resourceSlide2
Supported Business Functions 1
WMS is an inter-directorate initiative and support, or will support the following business functions directly or indirectly:
Maintain a national water and environmental quality database
Manage national and regional operational monitoring
Effluent discharge impacts
Compliance to license conditionsSlide3
Supported Business Functions 2
WMS is an inter directorate initiative and support, or will support the following business functions directly or indirectly:
Compliance to goals and objectives
Trend determination
Status of water resources
Fitness of water for human health
Incident management
Catchments managementSlide4
