Abstract Four schemes for integrating GIS with water resources MIS are proposed in this paper, and their advantages and shortages are described in detail. A ComGIS-based MIS of water resources has been established by using a ComGIS called SuperMap . The architecture and functions of this system are discussed. It is beneficial to explore the integration of ComGIS with MIS for water resources, and this kind of integration has important referenced significance for solving any other integrating problems between GIS and other professional applications.
