Long Business Description

Environmental Monitoring Information System of Kuwait (eMISK) is an ambitious system initiated by the Environment Public Authority (EPA) of Kuwait. eMISK aims to establish, build and maintain a comprehensive geo-environmental database of Kuwait along with an enterprise level GIS system for access, update and analysis of the environmental data. This geo-environmental database will be made available through eMISK to the decisions makers and the stakeholders from within EPA, outside agencies and to the public at large. Among the main goals of eMISK are to raise awareness at all levels of Kuwaiti Society of the values of the environment, and to place authoritative scientific information at the center of decision-making. eMISK spans over 3 phases, the 1st of which has started in October 2009 and is anticipated to establish a complete geo-environmental database for Kuwait, including the required infrastructure, and to develop the human capital within EPA, for using and maintaining the geodatabase, by the end of 2011. Phase 2 is aimed at the development of domain-specific environmental models and simulations to help address specific environmental issues in Kuwait. The third and the last phase of eMISK will be focused on the development of spatial decision support systems for issues relevant to the environment.
