Giswater 4: State of the art – Pushing the boundaries of PostGIS-QGIS Integration for Water Network Management
07-15, 09:00–13:00 (Europe/Sarajevo), PL13

The aim of this workshop is to learn-by-doing the capabilities of Giswater. The workshop will start with an overview of the Giswater project and will continue with the practical use of Giswater 4, the latest release which has been hugely enhanced from back-end to front-end. Not only the performance has been increased, but also new developments have been done. These updates reflect our commitment to open-source solutions more intensely in the scope of water supply and urban drainage.


In Giswater 4, more features can be configured in the database on an easier way in order to widen the customizable features of Giswater and also to ease the customization of the plugin. Moreover, important enhancements in network analysis have been made by setting Pgrouting as the core of these algorithms, increasing the performance as never before and approaching the plugin to the capacity of building a digital tween of the water network. Also, triggers have been developed to control data quality and consistency of the data model. The schedule will be the following: 1) First steps, 2) Create new project, 3) Import nodes, 4) Import pipes, 5) Generate a hydraulic model with EPANET and 6) Other features, data model and database performance approach
