Transforming Water Management with GIS Technology
Smarter Solutions for Utilities, Engineers, and Projects
Optimize water networks, reduce costs, and ensure sustainability with our cutting-edge GIS-powered water management tool
GISWATER Technology
Water Supply Management
We propose setting up, train, and implement GISWATER with the following functionalities in Water Supply. GISWATER communicates the EPA’s water simulation software EPANET to a Spatial database using the Geographic Information System (GIS) interface of QGIS
- Water Network Inventory - All Water Supply network elements inventory mapping; Water Treatment Plant, sources, bulk meters, valves, hydrants, and connections.
- Water Network Operation & Maintenance - Water Supply network O&M; Leak incident registration, visits for repair, work orders, linking photographs to incidents reports, and flow direction analysis. Ideal for NRW monitoring an reduction.
- Water Network Hydraulic Modelling - Determining Water Supply network flows and pressures with GIS or EPANET.
- Water Network Plan and Cost - Water Supply network planning and work cost valuation.
Sewer Systems Management
We propose setting up, train, and implement GISWATER with the following functionalities in Sewer Systems. GISWATER communicates the EPA’s Sewer simulation software SWMM, to a Spatial database using the Geographic Information System (GIS) interface of QGIS
- Sewer Network Inventory - All Sewer System network elements inventory mapping; conduits, manholes, Waster Water Treatment Plant, and sewer connections
- Sewer Network Operation & Maintenance - Sewer System flow trace, flow exit, profile, adding and managing visits.
- Sewer Network Hydraulic Modelling - Determining network flows and pressures by communicating with hydraulic software EPA SWMM
- Sewer Network Plan and Cost - Network planning with and work cost valuation.
WebGIS
We develop a web client for Water Supply and Sewer Systems to be acessed through a browser using QGIS Server and web client.
Web clients are open-source software that you can install at your place. But setting up and maintaining a server properly is time-consuming and can be complex.
Choosing to host your QGIS maps with us, allows you to enjoy the following benefits:
- We take care of servers configuration and set up backups
- You benefit at any time from thelatest versions of GISWATER, QGIS Long Term Release (LTR), and web client
- HTTPS access: SSL certificates
- SSL access to FTP and your GISWATER database Postgresql / PostGIS instances
- Optional installation of our QGIS functionalities such as edit, Operation and Maintennce, Hydraulic Modelling, and Network planning.
Mobile Data Mapping
Field data collection
Collect field data like leak locations and repairs, water pressure readings instead of paper forms. Benefit from real-time data updates accessible to the central office.
- Offline use - Colect data in areas with limited or no internet connectivity.
- Accurately record GPS of assets - location of valves, water meters, hydrants, leaks, and other assets.
- Customizable forms and data validation - Tasks such as maintenance activities, meter reading, leak mapping.
- geo-tagged photos - Add photographs to assets, leak locations, repairs completed, or other observations.
- Data sharing in Real-time - Share real time data updates with colleagues that you collaborate with.
- Scanning Barcode - Identify and record data associated with specific assets.
Integration with GIS
- Improve data analysis and reporting - Collected data can be easily integrated with existing water utility data management systems and QGIS for better analysis and trend identification.You can generate reports on.
- Reduce field operations costs - Optimise field operations and minimise costs. With simplified workflows and reduced data entry errors, operators can save valuable time and GIS resources, leading to significant cost savings for the water utility
- Improved navigation and routing - Enhance operational efficiency through improved navigation. By displaying efficient routes for meter reading, leak detection, and maintenance activities.
- Improved work order management - Assign and manage work orders and track task completion for better resource allocation enhancing overall operational efficiency for the water utility.
