Urban population growth (for2050 is foreseen that the urbanpopulation will be around 70% oftotal population - UN,DESA, 2011)implies a grater consumption ofresources (natural or processed)like: electricity, gas and oil products,food and water. As consequence, theurban water management becomean important aspect of urbansustainable development planning .

DESKTOP PLATFORM

Data Management

Modeling and analysis.

The desktop platform is designed to be used by specialists and researchers.

The platform is developed under a GIS framework (ArcGIS).


DESKTOP PLATFORMGeological analysis

The geological toolbox allows the specialist to manage litology, geophysical, and petrologicaldata. Analysis such as: borehole diagram, geological cross-sections, defining hydrogeologicalunits, can be easily made and exported in 2D and in 3D environment.


PLATFORMA DESKTOPHydro Chemical analysis

The hydrochemical toolbox performs a series of hydrochemical analysis for groundwater quality data:hydrochemical parameter statistics (univariable, bivariable,analysis), geostatistics (using GSLiblibrary), general chemical diagrams, charts and maps (Stiff Map, Wilcox diagram, Ionic Balance, PiperDiagram) and a series of parameter orientated maps.


DESKTOP PLATFORMHydrogeology

The third toolbox is an interface between the platform and other third parties software (such as GMS -Groundwater Modelling System). Data from the geospatial database are exported to the modellingsoftware and the outputs of model can be imported back to the platform. Beside the communicationcapabilities, the toolbox can generate an optimal cell-size modelling grid on the basis of thehydrogeological data spatial distribution.
