The design of an interoperability experiment to demonstrate how current ICT-based tools and water data can work in combination with geospatial web services is presented. This solution is being tested in three transboundary river basins: Scheldt, Maritsa and Severn. The purpose of this experiment is to assess the effectiveness of OGC standards for describing status and dynamics of surface water in river basins, to demonstrate their applicability and finally to increase awareness of emerging hydrological standards as WaterML 2.0. Also, this pilot will help in identifying potential gaps in OGC standards in water domain applications, applied to a flooding scenario in present work
