Abstract

The understanding of the situation and water management is an essential condition for economic development, so it is vital the promotion of solutions and support to management tools. Such tools characterize the territory and qualify the entities water and energy to reconcile this important nexus, involving knowledge, technology, politics and social and economic aspects. The Hydroinformatics International Centre is reference in Hydroinformatics applied to water resources management, working the territorial management with technologies free from geoprocessing and GIS. CIH keeps records of information in geographic databases and displays it on interactive maps by means of the web Geographic Information Systems, like demonstrated for the watershed of the San Francisco Real, Center’s case. The development of geographic information systems applied to water resources management using geo solutions enables free manipulation of geographic data to aid in decision making, with the benefit of replication in any reality by their free and universal use.
