2. Lake Constance
Lake Constance
Deep pre-alpine lake
Transboundary water body
with three riparian states
Austria, Germany and
Switzerland
Common responsibility for
water body
International Commission of
Lake Water Protection Lake
Constance – Internationale
Gewässerschutzkommision

3. BodenseeOnline
Information system BodenseeOnline
Interdisciplinary research project between universities, water suppliers and
engineering consultants
Main goal: description and forecast of hydrodynamics and water quality in Lake
Constance
Comprehensive database including
Meteorological data (wind, temperature, air pressure, precipitation, solar
radition, …)
Hydrological data (discharge from tributaries, water temperature, turbidity,…)
Hydrodynamic data from numerical models (water velocities, wave heights,…)

4. GENESIS
Why GENESIS?
BodenseeOnline provides
Observed data
Simulation results
→ Interpretation of observed and simulated data for decision support is required
The GENESIS project framework is used to enhance the ability of
BodenseeOnline to serve as a decision support system in case of an accident with
hazardous substances in Lake Constance
→ Objective: Dissemination of standardized and harmonized information in case of
accidents with hazardous substances in Lake Constance for end users (water
supplier, water police, fire brigades, national water authorities (Landratsamt,
ministries)
Pilot Lake Constance is one of six pilots validating and evaluating the GENESIS
solution

5. GENESIS
GENESIS: Motivation
Increases the amount of resources,
data or services accessible to all
eases the build-up of new systems
compliant with standards
fosters the collaboration between
communities and the sharing of
resources
helps the take-up of an e-market of
services
