| Zusammenfassung |
| Urban groundwater is a valuable resource since its quantity is larger than frequently expected
due to additional recharge sources (Lerner, 2002; Vázquez-Suñé et al., 2003). Its interaction
with the complex infrastructures network makes the water authorities a challenge to ensure a
proper water management. Necessary datasets to ensure a suitable water management have
normally different origins and formats. At the same time, the water management of a city
involves different decision makers with different knowledges. In this scenario, it is a
necessity to create a common environment where different actors would be able to
understand and analyze problems in the same way. It should be also necessary to
store, analyze and visualize all the required data in the same formats within its
geographical context by using standardized specific tools. To apply these recommendations
for the urban groundwater management of the Barcelona City Council, we have
implemented a software platform developed in a Geographic Information System
(GIS) environment. These GIS-based tools will give support to the users for storing,
managing, and analyzing geological, hydrogeological and hydrochemical data in 2D
and in a 3D context (Velasco et al., 2013). This implementation will improve the
groundwater management in Barcelona city optimizing the analysis and decision making
processes.
