MITTAGIS – Plugin de QGIS para la captura y visualización de datos de calidad del agua de fuentes hídricas en la empresa Mittag Water Engineering, Colombia.

Abstract

Water purification and wastewater treatment is one of the most urgent civil and environmental engineering problems, therefore, in order to achieve an efficient and viable design of a wastewater and potable treatment plant, a study is required. careful engineering based on the quality of the source; knowing their physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics of water sources, likewise, of the parameters that comply with the legal regulations in force in Colombia. Consequently, the need arose for the Mittag Water Engineering company to store and visualize the water quality data collected through different environmental monitoring carried out by certified laboratories to develop environmental consulting contracts awarded to the company, such as In response, MITTAGIS was implemented, a plugin in QGIS which allows loading, visualizing and storing environmental monitoring, in addition to validating its results with permissible limits of the standards Resolution 2115 of 2007 which determines the characteristics, basic instruments and frequencies of the control system and surveillance for the quality of water for human consumption and Resolution 0631 of 2015, which defines the physicochemical parameters and their maximum permissible values in the specific discharge of domestic and industrial wastewater. In this way, proposing a solution through geographic information systems.
