Abstract :
Remote sensing and geographical information systems (GIS) are important tools for monitoring coastal water systems. However, their limitations in complex, dynamic and mission critical situations demand alternative strategies. Integrating several computer-based systems offer one viable solution. The first phase of this research coupled a GIS with a simulation system. Using a shared database, a common user interface and a robust computer language to link the systems, spatial analyses enhanced by modelling were performed. The integrated MIKE21-ArcView2 GIS was tested in the southern coastal waters of Singapore. Ongoing research aims to extend the integrated system by encompassing remote sensing capabilities
