World Water Online is a global system of hydrologic data. It is an integration of
geospatial and temporal information across spatial scales: global, national, regional and
local. This global water information system has no parallel, and its scope would be
extended with the active participation of the global water community. Its consolidation
depends on the accessibility of countries’ databases through the system. In this study, a
test case using Mexican data within World Water Online is created, applying the
CUAHSI framework, web services and standards. The resulting Mexican-HIS unifies the
water information for the nation regardless of data provider, improving storage practices
and allowing additional querying and retrieving functionalities: World Water Online is a
source of information and also a supplier of web-based processing services. In the second
part of this study, a precipitation-runoff analysis using the data in the system is
performed. / text
