Design and implementation of levee project information management system based on WebGIS

The China Levee Project Information Management System (CLPIMS) is an information management platform that was established for levee project management within the seven major river basins in China. The system was developed on the basis of the VS.NET and ArcGIS Server and was combined with the database theory and key techniques of WebGIS, which has the features of real-time display, enquiry, statistics and management of spatial data under browser/server mode. Moreover, additional applications, such as real-time monitoring, safety assessment, early warning and danger forecasting and online analysis, can be further explored through reserved modules. The CLPIMS can serve not only as a scientific, systematic, visual tool for analysis and decision management in levee projects in China but also as a technical platform for flood control practice. Furthermore, the system is capable of unified management and sharing of the levee project information for the seven major river basins in China, and it is important for the improvement of office automation, E-government applications and the level of flood control operations.
