  1. Socio-economic Systems Needs and Process Russel Aird Department: Water Affairs and Forestry Chief Directorate: Integrated Water Resources Planning Directorate: Water Resources Planning Systems 21 February 2004

  2. Presentation content • Broad Process • Project communications • The development process • Preliminary user requirements • Proposed conceptual approach • The way forward

  3. Broad Process • The need to have long term population projections is a requirement • The Population and Economic Scenario System 2002 (PESS) commissioned in 1998 • The Water Services population database could not be used as it did not contain the urban populations (it contained rural community populations)

  4. Broad Process (contd.) • Water resource planning a requires national urban and rural populations • The PESS had data compiled from the census information, pre 1996, together with a functional split into rural and urban • When the census 1996 was published the PESS was reconciled to this information

  5. Broad Process (contd.) • During a presentation to the WRFMC a request was made for a single system that would reference to a common data source and result in consistent management reporting • A paper was co-authored by representatives from Water Services and IWRP outlining the needs, uses and conceptual solution (2002)

  6. Broad Process (contd.) • This project was then started • Consultations and a Study of current systems commenced • Explored project system concepts in more detail

  7. Key stakeholders • Requirements & systems were identified by • National Water Resource Planning • Water Services • Forestry • Water Allocations Planning • Water Use Efficiency • Business Information • Preliminary discussions were held with most of the above stakeholders • Email distributed to ensure all Directorates were approached

  8. Corporate Information Services • Communications with the Office of the CIO are ongoing. • The Corporate Team have met with Systems Analysis to present the corporate architecture and discuss systems managed by Systems Analysis. • Corporate has requested comment on the core system business rules and Systems Analysis has responded with “stakeholder” requirements and will prepare a response for the other areas.

  9. General nature of feedback from key stakeholders • The concept is sound and would assist most of the key stakeholders. • There are no other DWAF systems offering a similar service.

  10. The development process Feedback Preliminary Analysis Prototype Production system Business Analysis Development Time The arrows indicate the iterative process to be followed The ellipses indicate the level of detail and functionality increase with time

  11. Preliminary user requirements • Consistency in management reports • Common base of information • Common aggregation methodology • Data custodian to co-ordinate and control

  12. Preliminary user requirements (contd.) • Interim updating of data (census data every 10 years) • Various aggregations are required • Various indicators can be used • Tools for selection and manipulation of data

  13. Preliminary user requirements (contd.) • Areas chosen and rules that apply are to be flexible • Metadata for information and processes • Data traceability from results to source data • GIS and database applications must use the same data-set • The base unit of aggregation must be specified

  14. Proposed solution • Two areas of functionality have been identified in the proposed conceptual approach Data Management Models, tools and systems analysing the data

  15. Proposed conceptual approach Raw data Adjusted data Additional data Aggregated data Consolidated data Scenario models, viewers, tools, etc.

  16. Cost / benefit envisaged • Investment in the short term • Long term cost saving through flexibility and being able to incorporate future datasets and interim datasets. Data management service for models and other tools. • A more detailed cost / benefit will be addressed in the business analysis.

  17. The way forward • The way forward is to obtain support for the systems and proceed with a proposal to the WRMFC and the JMC.
