Water Information System

Information system designed to meet the needs of stakeholders (including the general public) regarding public environmental information in the field of water. It collects, store and disseminates data and indicators on water, aquatic environments and on their uses. Its entry point is the www.eaufrance.fr portal. His technical management is entrusted to the national office for water and aquatic environments (Onema) under the authority of the Ecology ministry. The national framework for water data (NFWD) stipulates the role and responsibilities of each data producer as well as the components making up WIS-FR. It is based on the common language set up by Sandre, now the French national service for water data and common repositories management.
