OWASIS - NL
Ontwikkelen van een water availability engine
– Integratie van diverse (geo)
informatiebronnen en
meetnetwerken in één water
availability engine.

Doelstelling OWASIS NL
• “To create a sustainable water
availability service chain”
– Water management market alone
is small and does not provide the
funding needed
– Large potential in other markets;
similar information needs
• Objective: find those other markets and determine the
feasibility of application; technical and economical
viability
Waarom deze aapak?
• Studie geeft toegang tot ESA financiering
voor de uitvoer van een pilot project.
• Meer gebruikers = lagere
gebruikerskosten.
• Engine ontwikkelen i.s.m.
eindgebruikers.
Markets and End-user groups
Aanpak OWASIS-NL
• HydroLogic: user-inquiries / proof of concept, ICT
feasibility
• ARCADIS - world-wide network of companies and
clients to test business model
• eLeaf: data necessities and identification of user needs
• Alterra: availability, quality and pricing of data for
applications, computational methodology
• Starlab (UK): State of the arts analysis and technology
identification
Project stappen OWASIS NL
1. Stakeholder / user analysis
2. State-of-the-art analysis &
technology identification
3. Service and system definition
4. Proof of concept prototype
5. Viability analysis (economic and
non-economic)
6. Roadmap and conclusions
User needs
OWASIS killer apps
Aanpak
