Lake Constance

Lake Constance

Deep pre-alpine lake

Transboundary water body

with three riparian states

Austria, Germany and

Switzerland

Common responsibility for

water body

International Commission of

Lake Water Protection Lake

Constance – Internationale

Gewässerschutzkommision

für den Bodensee

Drinking water reservoir

High population pressure on

the lake and in the catchment

BodenseeOnline

Information system BodenseeOnline

Interdisciplinary research project between universities, water suppliers and

engineering consultants

Main goal: description and forecast of hydrodynamics and water quality in Lake

Constance

Comprehensive database including

Meteorological data (wind, temperature, air pressure, precipitation, solar

radition, …)

Hydrological data (discharge from tributaries, water temperature, turbidity,…)

Hydrodynamic data from numerical models (water velocities, wave heights,…)

GENESIS

Why GENESIS?

BodenseeOnline provides

Observed data

Simulation results

→ Interpretation of observed and simulated data for decision support is required

The GENESIS project framework is used to enhance the ability of

BodenseeOnline to serve as a decision support system in case of an accident with

hazardous substances in Lake Constance

→ Objective: Dissemination of standardized and harmonized information in case of

accidents with hazardous substances in Lake Constance for end users (water

supplier, water police, fire brigades, national water authorities (Landratsamt,

ministries)

Pilot Lake Constance is one of six pilots validating and evaluating the GENESIS

solution

GENESIS

GENESIS: MotivationIncreases the amount of resources, data or services accessible to all

eases the build-up of new systems compliant with standards

fosters the collaboration between communities and the sharing of resources

helps the take-up of an e-market of services
