Abstract

Much of Economic development of south-western of Colombia is closely related to the sustainable use of natural resources. On the issue of water resources, the first step for efficient hydric resources management is the development of consensus around the necessary mechanisms for preservation of such resources, as well as around the methodological tools for supporting such processes. This paper proposes an language independent abstraction for hydrological studies. To achieve this abstraction, generic concepts are described and a unified meta-model is presented. The meta-model offers a description of the processes, variables and results that are involved in the hydrological analysis. Finally we show a pilot implementation of this system.
