Find the product listing on The Water Network Business Exchange.

More than two and a half years ago, a group of 11 Water utility companies located in Barcelona metropolitan region – Aigües de Banyoles, S.A, Aigües de Castellbisbal, S.A, Aigües de Figueres, S.A., Aigües de Girona, Salt i Sarriá de Ter, S.A, Aigües de Vic, S.A., Consorci d’Aigües de Tarragona, Proveïments d’Aigua, S.A., Aigües de Mataró, SABEMSA, Aigües de Blanes, S.A., Aigües del Prat, S.A. – decided to use Giswater as a corporative tool and its development team started to work on the version 3 of Giswater.

After a huge amount of work of the whole team, thanks to the confidence of the Water utilities and thanks to the incredible effort done by the PostgreSQL, PostGIS and QGIS teams, the Giswater project has successfully released the Giswater 3.3 version.

Now, not only 11 water utility companies from Barcelona’s metropolitan region use Giswater.  More than two million of inhabitants, besides Catalonia, are managed by utilities that use Giswater as a corporate tool. New projects are starting now, and as far as I know lots will be starting in a short-term.

Small and medium water utilities know, that by using Giswater, they can share knowledge, and sharing is one of the best ways to face the water industry digitization challenges. Because of that, Giswater is the perfect tool for those companies that have this profile. Acting as a know-how driven software, the knowledge from all utilities is shared by implementing that know-how as a workflow button.

A huge refactor has been done from initial requirements provided on the 3.0 to the current version. It is with great pleasure that we share all this knowledge and provide, as a result, a nice tool and we hope you will love it!

Therefore, the latest version includes:

• Plugin migration to QGIS 3 
• Creation of developer API in PostgreSQL Global Development Group, PostGIS
• Giving up on Java, if Oracle tells you to uninstall Java, you can do it...
• Continuous code improvement.
