Project

GISWATER is the first open source tool for the integral water cycle management (water supply, sewerage or flood risks). It was especially developed and designed for city councils, supramunicipal administrations, water and sewerage services concessionary companies and hydraulic professionals. Giswater is a driver that connects different hydraulic analysis tools and spatial database through which the user has access from any geographic information system (GIS). It is compatible with all the elements that compose a water supply or sewerage management system like EPANET, EPA SWMM, GIS, WMS or SCADA and therefore it can be incorporated to the informatic ecosystem of any entity or company dedicated to water management and multiply its benefits.

It is also possible to integrate business management tools like ERP, CRM or Business Intelligence and also corporative mobile devices.

GISWATER is developed in Python and PL/SQL. It is compatible with any spatial database and with all GIS systems.

GISWATER was initialy developed by the Sediment Transport Investigation Group of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (GITS-UPC) and the consulting firm BGEO. Both entities founded at the beginning of 2014 the Giswater Association, the association that since then releases the program versions and dynamize the users and developers community.

Community

The GISWATER community is composed by hundreds of engineers, entities, administrations and firms that use or are interested by this open source tool for the water cycle management. We would be pleased if you would like to form part of our community as there are many ways to do it.
