QGISRed

Dissemination

This section gathers those activities aimed at disseminating the QGISRed application, highlighting the Training Courses, whose programme will be announced in due course. In addition, links to some Publications from the REDHISP group of IIAMA related to the application and its features are also included, as well as links to News appearing in various media and social networks.

Training Courses

The first training course on QGISRed was held at the Universitat Politècnica de València on 18 July 2022, on the occasion of the 2nd Joint WDSA-CCWI 2022 Congress, which brings together professionals and researchers from around the world in the field of urban water, with the collaboration of Dr. Paloma Batanero Akerman.

A brief summary of its contents can be accessed via the following button.

Managing Advanced Hydraulic Models with QGISRed Plugin. From EPANET to Digital Twins

In the future, this section will announce new editions of this basic course, as well as the Course Catalogue we are preparing, to cover everything from learning the basic principles of urban hydraulics, to building models and managing scenarios for Master Plans, through to the migration to Digital Twins connected with real data, always using the QGISRed platform as the basis.

These will be fundamentally online courses with tutored assistance. In addition, there is the possibility of delivering face-to-face courses at the request of any institution or company.

Publications

This section reflects some of the most relevant publications that, together with the development of numerous contracts, have allowed us to acquire great experience in the modelling of water distribution networks, which we are gradually transferring to the QGISRed application.
