h1. %{color:BLUE;font-size: 1.2em;}Development of the main application%

p{font-size: 1.25em;}. The scope of Gisaf is designed to work together with the workflow and processes of our team.

p{font-size: 1.25em;}. At the same time, Gisaf is designed to be flexible, and has the potential to become a public release for small organizations integrating topographical surveys in a GIS platform.

p{font-size: 1.25em;}. Gisaf consists of 2 parts:

h2. %{color:#2369ff;font-size: 1.2em;} Server%

p{font-size: 1.25em;}. The server component is written in *Python* with geographic and many other libraries, and aggregates APIs, network protocols, data sources.

h2. %{color:#2369ff;font-size: 1.2em;} Interface%

p{font-size: 1.25em;}. The web interface (and mobile application) is written with *Angular*, with many libraries including Mapbox-gl, Plotly, Graphql, ...

p{font-size: 1.25em;}. The development is done in *Jupyter* with Python and data analysis libraries like Pandas, GeoPandas, ...

h1. %{color:BLUE;font-size: 1.2em;} Data collection and processing%

p{font-size: 1.25em;}. CSR Geomatics Studio collects information directly from the field (like topographic surveys, wells water levels, wastewater treatment systems health check-up), or from sensors and connected devices (water pressure transducers for automatic water level monitoring in selected wells, water ultrasonic flowmeters), and indirectly from public resources and other local parties. Both the geospatial and the temporal information are recorded for all collected data.

p{font-size: 1.25em;}. All these information need to be standardised, organised and processed in order to be orderly displayed online, and to allow any user to extract, analyse and integrate them for purposes such as water management, with a great potential for several uses in Auroville community.
