Portal GISAgua – ArcGIS for water management

Water networks management and water assets management
is one of the areas where the use of GIS tools is more intense.

• Advanced users with much knowledge of GIS
and needing everyday use

• Advanced analysis requirements topologies, With ArcGIS Server
networks and inter-dimensional data

• Diversity of GIS desktop tools • You can streamline GIS tools.

• Many years of development and implementation • You can get high performance
of GIS tools and scalability

• Large volumes of data • You can rationalize the use of
desktop licenses
• Large volumes of users


Portal GISAgua – Scope and definition

• Portal GISAgua is a GIS Web application focused on Water and Sewer
utilities data. Portal GISAgua aims to facilitate the query of GIS data and its
interface with other enterprise information systems to achieve maximum
exposure in the analysis of spatial data of water and sewerage utilities.

• Data published on the Portal GISAgua is edited and maintained from
GISAgua Desktop application, which provides all the editing capabilities and
spatial analysis of a comprehensive GIS platform.

• Portal GISAgua uses ESRI ArcGIS Server technology as a platform for
publishing maps and services.


Portal GISAgua - Evolution

Since 2008 up to date, Portal GISAgua has become a daily query tool for
the users and it is constantly evolving.

• All Technical Offices upload their data to a Common Database.
• Ability to restrict territorial information and functionality by user profile.
• Strong topological and data relationship between the model objects (pipes and junctions)
• The set of layers is limited and controllable
• Network connectivity among municipalities is not required
• Data query & Map Printing from anywhere with internet access.

Portal GISAgua – Valve closure simulation

Valve closure simulation
• It is a very handful tool
for the Network
Operational actions.

• It is a great support for
operational decisions on
the network.


Portal GISAgua – Upstream analysis

Location of effluents
• The upstream analysis is
a useful tool to locate
network effluents.

• Combined with other
analysis techniques it
helps to decision
making.


Portal GISAgua – Downstream analysis

Location of spillways
• Downstream analysis
helps to allocate the
spillways from an
affluent point upstream
in the drainage network.

• Downstream analysis
combined with other
techniques aids in
operational decision
making.


Portal GISAgua – Connection to AquaCIS CF

Commercial data reporting
• Queries to AquaCIS CF
are restricted to
previously authorized
users.

• Water connection and
Street are the common
objects between both
applications. IDs have to
be already synchronized Query menu
in order to allow user
queries. Query filters

Portal GISAgua – Connection to AquaCIS CF

Queries of commercial data and consumption data
• Queries to AquaCIS CF
are restricted to
previously authorized
users.

• Water consumption
queries bring an added
value to hydraulic
modeling of networks.

Portal GISAgua – Connection to CAAM

Queries to CAAM
• GISAgua and CAAM
share database objects.

• Thematic representation
can be printed and
exported to maps.


Portal GISAgua – CAAM Thematic Maps

Customized map printing with CAAM data
• Thematic maps are
available on the fly up to
data recovered from
CAAM.

• Thematic data layers are
available on the legend
along the user’s Portal
GISAgua session.

• Thematic representation
can be exported to
printed maps.


Portal GISAgua – Connection to CVI

Queries to CVI
• CVI is a Web application
to manage the Industrial
Affluent Control .

• GISAgua and CVI share
database objects.


Portal GISAgua – Customized Map printing

Customized Map printing
• The user chooses from a
template list specifically
published for each Service.

• Templates can be enriched
with different kind of
controls like text entries
checkboxes or radio
buttons.

• Templates are designed
inside GISAgua Desktop
local work sessions.

• The final result can be
chosen from pdf or svg
formats and can be ready o
be printed or saved or sent
by email.

• Finally the user can
reallocate the data frame to
get the best extend in the
map.

Portal GISAgua – Object Navigation

Object Navigation
• To access network
information it is useful to
navigate between the
objects in the network.
Once you have selected

Conclusions – Difficulties in the development project

Communication between different teams involved in the project
( Aquagest, Altran and ESRI )
• Defining the roles, participation and the fluent communication between teams have been crucial
for the project success.

Change management with the previous version.

• The project arose high expectations due to a former version and they have been reached with
the change of development technology, the user implication and the Aquagest and Altran effort
for documentation.

Iterative development and releases to the user

• The project timing and functional scope implied iterative releases. These are not trivial because
it was necessary to prepare environments, contingency plans outside office hours and involving
the participation of various teams.

Environments management: Production, integration and development.

• The source code have been managed always by Aquagest and the functionality have been
approved in an integration environment held by Aquagest.

Functionality approval workflow.

• New functionality of each release was approved not only by Aquagest technical supervisors but
also by the users.


Conclusions – Lessons learned

It is possible
to develop fast
Keep spatial and reliable

of OGC to ensure spatial
