ab: Summary: A hydroinformatic environment was created with the general
    objective of solving environmental problems in coastal waters. This
    environment consists of three components: a component for data
    organization and treatment; a component for modelling and simulating
    water quality and hydrodynamics; and a component for analysing,
    visualizing and editing the results. This paper describes the
    hydroinformatic components and the major developments introduced:
    different methodologies for analysing the performance of finite
    elements meshes, a conditioned mesh refinement procedure, a
    three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic model based on the Princeton Ocean
    Model with an alternative finite elements technique for the external
    mode computation, 2D and 3D water quality models for coastal waters and
    a methodology for GIS model results integration. The modular approach
    adopted in the development of this hydroinformatic environment appears
    to be a very suitable and versatile methodology for decision support
    systems to be applied in coastal zones environment management.
