Global Groundwater Information System (GGIS)
A GGIS is an interactive and transparent portal to groundwater-related information and knowledge.
The system is meant for various categories of stakeholders, including both professionals and the general public. The GGIS is simple to use and completely publicly accessible. It leads the user from aggregated, global information (Global Overview) via related information sources (Meta-Information Module) towards a direct information exchange (Collaborative Environment).
Global Groundwater Monitoring Network (GGMN) is the youngest and the most demanding GGIS module. Its purpose is to monitor a global change of groundwater resources.

The Global Overview is a web-map application permitting access to aggregated groundwater-related attributes for countries, groundwater regions and transboundary aquifers. Meta Information Module (MiM) is the reference core of the Global Groundwater Information System (GGIS); it contains meta information on organisations, people, documents international projects and... The Collaborative Environment allows international collaboration over the internet through project workspace and groundwater discussion forum. A GGMN is set up to monitor a global change of groundwater resources. It is conceived as a “network of networks”. The GGMN web-application is available now.
