| Description: |
The Environmental Information System is an integrated database-system containing data about shallow wells (waterwells, geotechnical wells, monitoring wells and wells drilled for exploration for raw materials), groundwater chemistry, drinkingwater chemistry, waterworks, geochemical analyses of surface samples, etc. Future versions will also include geophysical data (electrical sondings, welllogs, etc.).
The 1. version of the system was opened for general use in April 1998 and replaced GEUS' existing ZEUS-database. The well-database is the central part of the system, and it contains information such as administrative and completion data, geology (lithological description and stratigraphical classification), waterlevels and tests. The number of wells is approx. 200,000. The system is a Client/Server-system. The database is implemented using Oracle7 RDBMS and the serverplatform is Windows NT. The client programs run on Windows 95 and Windows NT workstations. These programs include update- and load-programs as wells as a userfriendly general query-program, which enables users without knowledge of databasetechnology to extract data from the database. The system also has facilities for exporting data to desktop-programs like Excel, Access and ArcView (GIS). |
