Basic Provisiona of the Regulations of Network Information Exchange and Communication Protocols
Up one level
The project envisages three operating modes for the network:
- Normal mode;
- Warning mode;
- Emergency mode.
Also, there is an auxiliary member training mode.
Key users of Dnipro basin management information are:
- Competent structures defined in the intergovernmental transborder water body agreements;
- Structures created under the UNDP-GEF Programme.
At present, the basis for the regulations is provided by the documents signed as a part of implementation of the 1992 Ukrainian-Russian Transborder Water Bodies Agreement, as well as by the regulations of information exchange between the units of Ukraine’s and Russia’s State Committees on Hydrology and Meteorology. The interests of other potential network users will be taken into account as they develop requirements to information exchange regulations.
The amount and frequency of presenting information in the normal mode are dictated by regulations of appropriate departmental information systems. Thus, key information in the normal operating mode is based on the State Water Cadastre (SWC) data and represented by information about the reserves, quality and use of surface and subterranean water.
In accordance with the SWC regulations, this information is updated yearly.
The waterworks safety database is updated dynamically and as safety declarations become available.
All the above information circulating in the normal operating mode does not need regulation of mutual information transmission between network nodes. As the central node that directly, within a single organization (VODNIIINFORMPROEKT) interacts with SWC’s water use database, RDBIC is able to provide Dnipro basin information without the need to organize additional information exchange between Russia’s Dnipro basin oblasts.
The network’s normal operating mode also includes presenting information received as a result of joint analytical monitoring of hydrochemical and radiological condition of water bodies at border sites performed as a part of implementation of the 1992 Ukrainian-Russian Transborder Water Bodies Agreement on the level of basin agencies with contiguous areas of responsibility. This information is presented four times a year (Table 4.1).
The network works rather differently in the warning mode (when water pollution is above normal but below extremal) and in the emergency mode (when water pollution is above extremal). For these modes, the draft network regulations, based on the requirements of the competent organizations mentioned above, establish directional information channels and presentation frequency (weekly for pollution levels above normal but below extremal and daily for extremal levels).
Channel organization is objectively determined by the Russian Dnipro basin’s drainage network (Fig. 4.1) and the list of water bodies and monitoring sites established within the Ukrainian-Russian Transborder Agreement (Table 4.1). A similar list within the agreement with Belarus (December 2002) is yet to be created.
Possible impact of emergencies on transborder water bodies has been assessed based on the above. Impact routes of emergencies relating to water bodies of the Russian Dnipro basin for the warning and emergency modes are shown in Table 4.2, where the number of each section corresponds to the address of the computer network node.
In the event of an emergency in the Russian Dnipro basin, the table is used to fix the emergency section by subbasin (row) and oblast (column). After that, the numbers of sections in the fixed row that are greater that the number of the emergency section are used to form a mailing list of network nodes for emergency warning. Emergency warning messages state the appropriate operating mode code:
- TPH (TRN) – training mode;
- HOP (NOR) – normal mode;
- NPE (WAR) – warning mode;
- YP3 (EMR) – emergency mode.
All modes require sending a copy of the message to RDBIC and the Regional Department of Water Resources (Chernihiv oblast, Ukraine).
Therefore, a standard normalized message may look like this:
“TRN / Phenol concentration at Krasny Kamen village site exceed maximum permissible concentration Q = 10 MPC. Cause: sediment tank overfilling at enterprise “Alfa” / TRN”.
