As we know that one of the GIS applications that have an opensource license is QGIS. QGIS or Quantum GIS is an open source Geographic Information System application that supports multiple data vector formats, spatial databases and many raster data formats. Unlike many other open source GIS programs, QGIS is available for a number of operating systems, including Windows and Mac OSX. The program offers standard GIS functions, including a wide range of mapping features, data editing, on-the-fly projections and GRASS digitizing. support for plugins extends the functionality to a more advanced level by providing additional tools such as GPS data support, georeferencing, and additional mapping elements.
With such a vast capability, Suherman makes a simple QGIS project that has been designed in such a way to be used for digitization activities of Water Supply or Waste Water Company their pipeline network assets and its customer position. It is thus expected to help Water Supply or Waste Water Company who are new to or will begin the process of digitizing their assets.
has provided 10 basic layer commonly used by PDAM that is :
- Customers Water Meter Layer
- Pipeline Layer
- Customer Building Layer
- Road Layer
- Tile Raster OSM
- District Metering Area Zone Layer
- Service Area of drinking water treatment plant Zone Layer
- boundary of the road Layer
- Prospective Customer
- Landmark
The ten layers have also been designed by Suherman in order to perform digitization and equipped with input form Attributes commonly required by the Water Supply or Waste Water Company.
As the data storage media vector used in this project is GeoPackage format
As a basic map used in this project is to take advantage of Tile Server XYZ features available in QGIS 2.18 and above. Already available directly in the form of tile server from Open Sreet Map.
