Giswater Association

The goals of ​Giswater ​Association are ​to meet the ​challenges of ​the Giswater ​project, and we ​work to achieve ​the following ​objectives: ​

• To disseminate ​values ​of open ​source software,​ particularly ​applied to ​engineering and ​water ​management. ​
• To develop, ​promote and ​universalize ​the whole use ​of the '​Giswater ​software'​. ​
• To contribute ​to the research,​ development ​and dissemination ​of knowledge in ​the areas of ​water ​management, ​hydraulics ​engineering and ​flood risk ​management. ​
• To establish ​itself as a ​global ​benchmark in ​the field of ​open knowledge ​in areas ​described ​before, ​generating any ​project or ​application ​based on this ​described ​knowledge areas.​
• To participate ​and collaborate ​in projects, ​alliances, ​meetings, ​workshops, ​conferences or ​any initiative ​or event that ​deals with the ​topics ​descrided ​before. ​

Our mission ​is to move from ​acquired ​knowledge to ​shared ​knowledge in ​the areas of ​water ​management, as ​supply, ​sewerage, urban ​drainage or ​flood risk ​assessment, and ​our vision is ​to develop ​Giswater, a ​open software ​project with ​the goal to ​communicate any ​water ​simulation ​software ​through any ​Spatial ​database with ​any Geographic ​Information ​System (GIS) in ​order to give ​everybody a ​real way of ​open water ​solutions. ​

Giswater ​connects water ​simulation ​programs to a ​powerful GIS ​interface, and ​lays the ​foundation for ​full management ​of water supply ​systems, ​sewerage ​systems, ​drainage ​networks and ​rivers using ​Web Map ​Services (WMS), ​System Control ​and Data ​Acquisition (​SCADA) or ​Customer ​Relationship ​Management ​Systems (CRMS). ​
