FREEWAT : The Free Software for Water Resource Management





What is it?

A free open-source software plugin that integrates three different groups of software that can simulate and optimize water resource-related problems. This software will work as a plugin for Q-GIS software.


What it does?

The software tries to simplify the application of the Water Framework Directive and other EU water-related Directives. by providing an easy-to-use input GUI and a highly sophisticated visualization window that can be integrated with common GIS software.

The software comprises the following tools :

As a composite plugin, FREEWAT is designed as a modular ensemble of different tools. In this framework, the following modules or group of software is available:

  1. Hydro-geological and Hydro-chemical Module: This group of tools will enable users of the software to analyze, interpret, and visualize hydrogeological and hydrochemical data and quality issues. These tools will also focus on advanced time series analysis, which can be integrated into the akvaGIS module.

  1. Hydrology and Water Resource Management Modules: This module comprises tools that will help the user to simulate the models of the hydrological cycle and water resources management (like flow models, transport models, and crop growth models, including management and optimization models (also related to irrigation management and rural issues).)

  2. Statistical Analysis Modules: The software also has a module to perform model calibration, sensitivity analysis, uncertainty quantifications, etc. common statistical analysis tools.

Internship Opportunity at NIT Agartala - "Game theory meets flood resilience: play smart, protect lives."

This internship offers a unique opportunity to apply game theory to real-world flood resilience , equipping participants with strategic decision-making skills that go beyond traditional hydrological modeling. Interns will: ✅ Gain hands-on experience in stakeholder analysis and strategic modeling. ✅ Develop decision-support frameworks that balance cost, risk, and social feasibility. ✅ Work on case studies to bridge theory with practical flood mitigation strategies. ✅ Enhance interdisciplinary expertise , combining hydrology, economics, and policy dynamics. ✅ Build problem-solving skills that can shape future disaster resilience planning. By the end of the program, interns will have a deeper understanding of flood management complexities and a powerful toolkit for strategic problem-solving —essential for careers in hydroinformatics, environmental policy, and infrastructure planning. 🌊🎲 https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1QK714yR1u/ You may also like : HydroGeek: The newsletter ...

Five indices that you can use along with GIS to identify Drought

Drought can not be defined as Flood. No single definition is available for drought. The beginning and end of drought are difficult to identify.  Drought can be, however, identified through various indicators such as rainfall, snowpack, streamflow, and more, and these indicators can be used to monitor drought. Different scientists and researchers have developed various indices to help determine the onset, severity, and end of droughts. Drought indices are multiparameter and based on long or short duration observation of data for such parameters which help them create a comprehensible big picture. A drought index value is typically a single number that is calculated based on the data of input parameters generally rainfall, snowpack, evapotranspiration, etc., and is interpreted on a scale of abnormally wet, average, and abnormally dry.( Reference ) The video below elaborates the concept : Although drought is very difficult to determine the significance of drought in agriculture, water...

Five examples of Water Collected from Air

Video Link :  https://youtu.be/AVQJCH-6psg Water from Air is a new concept for the conservation of water by adopting a source that is uncommon and renewable. The most abundant source of freshwater is the Earth’s atmosphere. When atmospheric humidity condenses, it falls as rain. This natural process of condensation is replicated by adopting different technologies, which allows it to make water continuously, even in low humidity conditions. Here are the examples : 1) Airowater Dewpoint Smart "The Airowater Dewpoint Smart is one of the smaller units designed to ensure portability. This unit can make up to 20 litres per day in relative humidity and is also equipped to use city water as the input source to deal with a sudden increase in demand!" 2) Rainmaker "Rainmaker’s Air-to-Water units produce drinking water from the air – no other water source is required. " It uses a turbine that forces air through a heat exchanger, where the air is cooled and condensation takes pl...
