Abstract
This chapter focuses on environmental data exchange for inland water. The exchange of document information through the World Wide Web has been successful because of the invention of the Hyper Text Markup language (HTML), with which, the first browsers became operational and that the protocol and the language were very simple and easy to use. The general problems on data exchange are also relevant for data exchange in the environmental field, and in the field of inland water. Environmental data for one water body upstream of another is always relevant. It allows the inference of some scientific and technical information about the water body downstream. The Environmental Data Exchange Network for Inland Water project aims to facilitate and increase data exchange. With this project, a large number of existing inland water databases in the world can be linked together. Where the databases are connected to the Internet, they typically have different interfaces and use different protocols. It enables individuals and organizations to be more effective and efficient in their work related to environmental management.
