Real-time cartography in operational hydrology

The present paper describes a project in which real-time cartographic concepts are combined with the needs in operational hydrology. First, the current state of research in these and related domains are presented. Methodological considerations are made in term of the data and the data models as well as regarding to their access, visualization and technical environment. Finally, remarks are made as to the expected results of the project and the use for operational hydrology.
