Architecture The solution is based on web-based client server architecture which facilitates the clients to access the spatial and non-spatial data stored in spatial database from remote location. MapGuide Open Source studio comes with rich javascript APIs that enables the developers to customize the application according to functional requirements. An Ajax Viewer provides map display and interaction in almost any browser without having to download a browser plug-in. This viewer ensures that any user on any platform can access designs and maps without requiring a specific browser.The OGC compliant GeoServer is used as an intermediate between MapGuide server and spatial database. GeoServer is an open source software server written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial data and specially designed for interoperability. The Spatial data is retrieved from spatial database by GeoServer using web feature service (WFS). MapGuide Server provides OSGeo FDO provider for WFS for building data connection with GeoServer. Finally MapGuide Ajax viewer displays the spatial data over the client machine in the form of layers for spatial analysis and reporting. View Solution Brochure (PDF - 431 KB)

The web GIS enterprise solution for fresh water supply combines the power of GIS and Information Technology together on the web. The generalization and specialization principles of cartography lead the water works departments to visualize the assets deployed ranging from a small size socket up to a huge size reservoir on the map. An engineer can get all information related to resource deployed just by clicking on that resource. The view of complete water supply network helps finding out the channels by which water flows from source (Reservoir) to destination (Parcel). The geo-referenced imagery and basic visualization tools helps in better understanding of ground situation.
