Abstract
Our research concerns the development of a unified coherent framework for evaluating water contamination processes and solving environment protection problems according to sustainable development requirements. The research investigations are made according to the requirements of the European Union (EU) Water Framework Directive and Sustainable Development Strategy. The article describes the decision support processes, based on integration of distributed data warehouses that are on the responsibility of different institutions. The Water Resource Management Information System became the kernel component of a decision support system. We analyse the possibilities of composing e-services in a semi-automatic way for decision support by analysing data processes in the water management sector. We would like to show the possibilities of integrating of data into a web portal from the distributed databases of the water management sector. The information infrastructure of e-service provision is constructed by ensuring the requirements of interoperability. The composition mechanisms of e-service are based on SOA, i.e. service-oriented architecture, and the Goal-Based Service Framework idea. The results are demonstrated on wastewater discharges from farms and household production into surface waters of Lithuanian districts during the period of 2003–2012 years. The water resource management domain specification is based on the goal-based service ontology.
Highlights
The aim of this study is to examine the information infrastructure for water resource planning and water treatment activities, to provide evaluation indicators and data storage arrays that measure the environmental and water pollution according to the requirements of sustainable development
The methodology of design of this type decision support system is based on multi-layered architecture of databases of different public administration institutions such as Environment Information and Observation Network (EIONET), Joint Research Centre (JRC), Geological Survey (GS), Hydro-meteorological Service, Ministry of Environment (MoE), Marine Research Centre (MRC), etc
Our research study is aimed to analyse the activities of enterprises, institutions, and organizations according to sustainability requirements
Summary
The aim of this study is to examine the information infrastructure for water resource planning and water treatment activities, to provide evaluation indicators and data storage arrays that measure the environmental and water pollution according to the requirements of sustainable development. The assessment of pollution situations, selecting the appropriate search parameters and methods for decision support that allow revealing the water and environmental contamination by effluents, is important in many research studies (Heringa et al 2010; Ciegis et al 2008; Junier, Mostert 2014; Lescot et al 2013, Mardani et al 2015). The studies reveal the requirements of sustainable development for wastewater and water treatment sector accounting activities; identify the existing problems that need to be addressed in order to ensure the quality of water and a clean environment (Junier, Mostert 2014; Simonovic 2008). The methodology of design of this type decision support system is based on multi-layered architecture of databases of different public administration institutions such as Environment Information and Observation Network (EIONET), Joint Research Centre (JRC), Geological Survey (GS), Hydro-meteorological Service, Ministry of Environment (MoE), Marine Research Centre (MRC), etc
