Chapter II

SUPERVISION SYSTEM

Article 5. Supervision system

1. The supervision system is a uniform system that is designed to connect and share information and data of the establishments extracting and using water resources with regulatory authorities from central to local governments, including:

a) Network infrastructure and servers; software for managing licenses, monitoring the extraction and use of water resources at central and local levels (hereinafter referred to as “supervision software”);

b) Database of the supervision system, including: information on shared water resources licenses of central and local governments; measurement and monitoring information and data obtained from works for extraction and use of water resources and other information and data serving supervision (hereinafter referred to as “supervision database”) at central and local levels;

c) Equipment for measuring, connecting, directly transmitting and updating data from establishments having works for extraction/use of water resources to the supervision database through network infrastructure, servers and supervision software.

2. Building supervision systems:

a) The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment shall build a central supervision system as prescribed in Points a and b Clause 1 of this Article;

b) People’s Committees of provinces and central-affiliated cities (hereinafter referred to as “provincial People’s Committees) shall build local supervision systems as prescribed in Points a and b Clause 1 of this Article.

3. Information and data obtained from the supervision system shall serve as one of the bases for carrying out inspections and handling of administrative violations during compliance with regulations specified in the licenses to extract/use water resources and other regulations of law on water resources.

Article 6. Requirements applicable to network infrastructure, servers and supervision software

1. Network infrastructure, servers and other ancillary equipment used for installing and running supervision shall satisfy the following requirements:

a) Network infrastructure shall ensure safety, confidentiality and stable operation; satisfy the requirements for connecting, transmitting and updating data from measurement and monitoring equipment of works for extraction/use of water resources to the supervision database; satisfy the professional requirements of managers and requirements for connection, exploitation and sharing of data between the central supervision system and the local supervision systems;

b) Servers must ensure its ability to process and store data according to the design of the supervision software; ensure adequate number of servers in case of emergency.

2. Supervision software must be designed to run on web, integrate with access devices (computers, tablets, smartphones); ensure its ability to connect and share information and data with other systems through webservices; comply with the Government’s regulations on level information systems security and the requirements set out in the Appendix I hereof.

Article 7. Requirements applicable to supervision software

1. Supervision software must be organized and set up in a reasonable manner for access, use, management and regular update.

2. The database must include:

a) Information about shared water resources licenses central and local governments specified in the Appendix II hereof;

b) Regarding database of works for extraction/use of surface water: information and data on the minimum discharge flow, plant overflow rate, weir overflow rate, water level at reservoirs in case of extraction of surface water for electricity generation; capacity, minimum discharge flow, water level at reservoirs, quality of water during extraction (if any) in the case of extraction/use of surface water for agriculture, aquaculture and other purposes;

c) Regarding database of works for extraction/use of groundwater: water level in production wells; water level in extraction wells; capacity, quality of water during extraction (if any);

d) Camera data (if any).

Article 8. Requirements applicable to equipment for measuring, connecting and transmitting data of establishments having works

1. The measuring equipment used in works for extraction/use of water resources must satisfy the following main requirements:

a) The value to be measured must be within the measurement range;

b) The measuring equipment must operate continuously, connect and transmit information and data to the data logger of the supervision database;

c) Regarding water level and discharge meters, the measurement range must not exceed 15 minutes at a time; regarding surveillance cameras, the shutter speed must be at least 01 frame per minute;

d) Before being put into use, the measuring equipment must ensure quality, comply with standards and technical regulations in accordance with prevailing regulations on quality, products and goods, and be kept under metrological control (inspection, calibration, testing) in accordance with prevailing regulations on measurement.

2. Upon carrying out measurement of water level, the absolute error must not exceed 01 cm; regarding the flow meter, the relative error must not exceed 5% of the actually measured value.

3. The equipment for measuring, connecting and transmitting data must comply with connect data standard specified in the Appendix III hereof.

Article 9. Sharing and exploitation of water resources supervision data

1. Central and local water resources supervision systems must comply with the requirements for connecting and sharing data in accordance with regulations on management, connection and sharing of digital data of regulatory bodies.

2. The central supervision system must connect and share data with the national natural resources and environment monitoring database and other information systems and database according to the e-Government architecture in the natural resources and environment sector; share data with local supervision systems for the local works for extraction/use of water resources.

3. Local supervision systems must connect and share data with the central supervision system; share supervision data with other information systems and database according to the provincial e-government architecture.
