Session 4: Legal Basis and Institutional Framework for transboundary data and information exchange
Progressive evolution of the legal basis for data and information exchange in the Sava River Basin:
protocols, data policy, GIS and information systems

Advisor, ISRBC Secretariat
UNECE Water Convention, Geneva, 4-5 December 2019
Global workshop on exchange of data and information
in transboundary basins

• Main facts & figures
– Area 97 700 km2 (2nd Danube sub-basin; share: 12%)
– River length: 945 km (594 km ofwhich is the waterway)
Prevention of Water Pollution caused by Navigation Belgrade, 1 June 2009 All Parties 8 Oct. 2017
Flood Protection Gradiška, 1 June 2010 All Parties 27 Nov. 2015
Sediment Management Brčko, 6 July 2015 All Parties 8 Oct. 2017

Protocol on Flood Protection to the FASRB - obligations
6
• In case of flood that induces or may induce transboundary impact, the Parties shall, without delay, inform the Parties that might be affected by this impact, through the system or any other appropriate manner in line with the agreed procedure for exchange of information important for flood defense
• The Parties shall, through the hydro-meteorological services and institutions responsible for flood protection, ensure timely exchange of meteorological and hydrological data, analyses and information important for flood protection, especially the timely forecast of high waters, in line with the agreed procedure
• The Parties shall establish a Flood Forecasting, Warning and Alarm System in the Sava River Basin and to jointly undertake all necessary actions for establishment of the System, including the development of the project documentation
• The Sava Commission shall coordinate the activities on establishment of the System
• After the System is established, the Parties shall ensure its regular maintenance and performance control, as well as regular training of the engaged personnel, with application of joint standards

Data Exchange Policy
• Principles (organizations, monitoring locations, data to be exchanged)
• Routes (procedures, timetable, quality standards, use and redistribution,
• International legal framework– FASRB– Protocol on Flood Protection to FASRB– WMO Resolutions (25/Cg-XIII and 40/Cg-XII)– INSPIRE– Danube River Protection Convention– ISRBC’s Data Exchange Policy
• National legal framework
7Global workshop on exchange of data and information in transboundary basins
Sava GIS
– River basin management data
– Flood risk management data
– Other databases (in development)
• Navigation• Sediment management• Accident prevention and control
www.savagis.org
Database models are created based on
– WFD reporting Guidance 2016 v.4.9
– FD reporting Guidance 2017 v.2
– INSPIRE Directive and professional requirements
– WMO standards
– ICPDR database models (Danube GIS)
Common platform for sharing and dissemination of information and knowledge about WRM in the basin
Global workshop on exchange of data and information in transboundary basins 8
Sava GIS
• Public users
– Overview of public spatial data
– Viewing attributes and features
– Filtering by attributes or spatial data
– Exporting areas of map to PDF or PNG format
– Importing external data through web services
– …
• Registered users
– Data upload & download
– Data editing
– …

Sava HIS
Common platform for sharing and dissemination of HM data and information in the basin and the channel for exchanging and viewing HM data and information in
emergency situations (e.g. floods)
• Additional (advanced) component of Sava GIS
– Historical (processed) HM data
– Real-time HM and SED data
– Hydrological Yearbook (2000-2018)
– Joint H-measurements at border sections (since 2013)
