Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to explore an information platform for sharing, managing, downloading, analyzing and visualizing of a diverse range of hydrologic observation data to support investigators, geotechnical experts do some research about watershed in Northwestern China. For this reason, we develop a Watershed Datacenter System (WDC) which adopts an Entity Framework 6 (EF6) approach based on Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture pattern and several other useful technologies like cross-platform JavaScript libraries (jQuery, D3 and Dojo), ArcGIS API and Responsive web design. Besides, Observation Database Model (ODM), Web Services and Time-Series analysis tools are seamlessly integrated into our WDC with the help of open source HIS (Hydrologic Information System) by CUAHSI (Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc.). The result shows that the WDC brings a lot of convenience for managing and analyzing of data onto watershed research.
