AB: The Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc, (CUAHSI) is developing a Hydrologic Information System (HIS)to advance hydrologic science and education in US academic institutions. A central mission of this system is to support CUAHSI's parallel Hydrologic Observatory and Hydrologic Synthesis Center projects. The HIS consists of three parts: a Hydrologic Digital Library for storage of any kind of digital hydrologic information, a Digital Watershed for geospatial description of the water environment, and a system for computation of hydrologic fluxes and flows through this environment. The main design features of the HIS are presented and illustrated through application to the Neuse basin in North Carolina.
