The main objective of this study is to develop a web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) application, IGIS(Integrated Groundwater Information Service System), for efficient management of groundwater data. This integrated system includes various groundwater measurements, monitoring data, well data, hydrogeochemical data, hydrogeological maps and diversely analyzed results including time series analysis data for water levels and quality. It will be used efficiently for local government officers to manage groundwater within their districts and also for drillers and investigators to develop wells and assess groundwater conditions. This web-based GIS system was implemented firstly for Cheonan and Daegu city. As a result, the system makes the efficient management, distribution and utilization of groundwater data possible by web-based GIS technology.
