Abstract In recent years, the Chinese Government has intended to move from an exclusive emphasis on structural solutions towards a balance of structural and non-structural measures in watershed management and flood control. In support of this intent, a comprehensive GIS-based information system, or Decision Support System (DSS), is necessary for the headquarters of the SongLiao Water Resources Commission (SWRC), the Ministry of Water Resources (MWR). The main objective of the project is to build a comprehensive and integrated information system based on GIS techniques. The system is designed as a practical tool for the daily water management and flood control of the Songhua River basin. The main features of this system are real-time data query and dynamic modelling.
