　　报告摘要： Availability of reliable information describing our natural and anthropogenic environment, particularly its changes, is crucial for understanding the complexity of structures and processes within environmental systems. In past different attempts have been made to provide information systems (expert systems) mainly based on Geographical Information Systems. The concept of Environmental Information Systems (EIS) combines the capabilities of GIS for data representation and predictive modelling tools in the related geographical context. The EIS is embedded into a Virtual Reality (VR) environment for a realistic data and model representation. Moreover, EIS are building continuous workflows for data integration, process simulation, and visual data analytics using interactive visualization methods. The EIS concept is inspired by Water 4.0 framework and will be further developed for operational water management purposes. Two EIS examples are presented for water supply for Chaohu city and the aquatic ecosystem in the Poyang Lake Basin – demonstrating the status and capabilities of EIS implementations.
