STUDY ON DESIGNING MUNICIPAL TECHNICAL NETWORK MAPS FOR AN AGRICULTURAL COMPANY WITH THE HELP OF A GIS.

This paper presents a fast and precise method of designing municipal technical network thematic maps for an agricultural company which besides the agricultural production activities, also specializes in the food industry. Because of this, the improvement of the water management is imperative. In order to reach the objectives needed, a field survey was performed at the same time as the one required for "Study on the development of a GIS for improving the management of a drinking water network for an agricultural company". Based on the collected data, a series of thematic maps for the water and sewer systems were designed. They show the surveyed details with great accuracy and are very important for water management. An important characteristic of the GIS developed is that it has the ability of providing all of the departments with data visualisation capacity through a WMS and service for easy map printing, without the need of specialised knowledge. The users only need to choose the paper size and the system will take care of designing and adding the finishing touches to the map. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
