Integrated Environmental Monitoring System (IEMS)
The Integrated Environment Monitoring System (IEMS) was developed to provide a comprehensive, integrated, and robust solution for environmental monitoring and management in Putrajaya. The system integrates multiple data sources and sub-modules to deliver real-time information and support informed, data-driven decision-making, aimed at safeguarding and sustaining Putrajaya’s natural environment, particularly the Putrajaya Lake and Wetlands.
Main Modules of IEMS
1. Putrajaya Lake & Wetland Management and Operation System (PLWMOS)
PLWMOS is a dedicated content management system that focuses on the rich biodiversity of the Putrajaya Lake and Wetlands. This sub-module provides a comprehensive database covering flora and fauna species, their characteristics, habitats, and ecological significance. It supports management and operational activities related to the conservation, protection, and maintenance of lake and wetland ecosystems in a systematic and sustainable manner.
2. Environmental Pollution Source Control System (SKPPAS)
SKPPAS is a critical component of IEMS designed specifically to monitor the water quality of Putrajaya Lake. This sub-module receives data from dedicated lake water quality monitoring stations and provides real-time information on key parameters such as pH levels, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and other pollutants. This enables early detection and identification of pollution sources, allowing timely and effective corrective actions to be implemented.
3. Hydrological Monitoring System
The Hydrological Monitoring sub-module is responsible for monitoring and analysing various hydrological parameters in Putrajaya. These include water levels, flow rates, and other relevant hydrological indicators. The information is essential for understanding water dynamics, supporting efficient water resource management, and providing early warnings for abnormal conditions such as potential flooding or water shortages when thresholds are exceeded.
4. Weather Monitoring System
The Weather Monitoring sub-module collects and analyses meteorological data, including temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, and rainfall distribution. This data is crucial for understanding current weather conditions, supporting weather forecasting, and assessing the impacts of weather variability on Putrajaya’s environment, particularly in relation to water resource management and lake ecosystems. Significant changes such as heavy rainfall alerts (via related systems such as WRMS) or strong wind warnings can trigger notifications relevant to environmental safety and management.
