In this paper we present architecture and current state of implementation of a collaborative computation environment based on Grid infrastructure, used as a mean of support for large scientific virtual organizations. The environment consists primarily of a collaboration-supporting user interface, workflow system capable of submission of jobs to the Grid and a Grid-based data management suite. The whole system is controlled via a web-based user portal, which enables to design and control simulations, to preview results and to communicate with other users. The workflow management module is responsible for executing a set of consecutive computation jobs and linking their input/output data. This computation engine is backed by a data management module, which performs data storage/retrieval tasks and metadata queries. A prototype of such an environment is deployed and tested for a flood forecasting system. The system consists of workflow system for executing simulation cascade of meteorological, hydrological and hydraulic models, data management system and a set of web portals.
