Poster presented at the GISDECO Conference on GIS Tools
For Effective Planning, (4th Seminar on GIS and Developing Countries),
University of Pretoria, South Africa, 1 and 2 October 1998.
Water quality specialists needed a way of plotting the Department of Water and Sanitation’s data on maps, without having to become cartographers or geographic information systems specialists.
The Institute for Water Quality Studies, a directorate within
the Department of Water and Sanitation, developed a loose
assemblage of Arc/Info macros, C++ routines, 1:500 000 coverages
and INFO versions of the corporate water quality database.
We called this system WaterMarque.
When it fell over too frequently, we summoned
Elise Vorster,
an AML programmer from GIMS,
to smooth off the rough edges.
(For the full saga of WaterMarque’s development, please see
