GGMN web-based application
IGRAC is developing a web-based application to assist the aggregation procedure, as well as the gathering and dissemination of information (see the figure). The GGMS application enables the user to periodically produce on-line maps showing a regional change of groundwater variables in time.
Representative groundwater point measurements and proxy information (such as precipitation and demography) can be uploaded in the application to assist the aggregation procedure. Once the aggregation is completed, the information is stored in the IGRAC database to be combined with information from other monitoring regions and eventually disseminated via the IGRAC portal.
The use of the GGMS application requires only a browser and the access to the Internet. Further on, the user has a direct access to the database and a full control over own data. The simplicity of the application and the clear information ownership are provided to ensure the commitment of the groundwater community in supporting and joining the network
