Towards Enterprise Geospatial Web for Sudan Water Harvesting

This article aims to highlight the concepts developed for the implementation of a full-featured enterprise geospatial web system in Sudan, for mapping and analysis using a computer-based system, that includes a robust GIS server, enterprise database, and dedicated web-based geospatial infrastructure to organize, share, and integrate geospatial application and services on local network infrastructure. The Dams Implementation Unit as part of the Irrigation and Water Resources Foundation in Sudan, has performed many projects in the area of water harvesting and agricultural irrigated projects. These types of water harvesting projects need a large amount of geospatial data, which requires effective database management. The database management system has been conceptually modeled to effectively manage all kinds of geospatial data and information to establish the enterprise Dams Implementation Unit database system and create its web applications. This paper reviews a simple and easy-to-use methodology for creating an Enterprise geospatial web system for the Dam Implementation Unit in Sudan and web applications created and tested.
