[Qgis-developer] QGIS for Water

[Werner Macho]

Hi there!

I am very interested in this topic too..
I played around with ANUGA a bit and I use SMS very often ..
To be honest since Bricsys released their BricsCAD for linux SMS is the 
last software that keeps me bound to Windows.

But the 3D Component is still missing in QGIS and a tin creation 
algorythm which is not ignoring breaklines is also a big point for me.

But I like the idea of probably using QGIS for modeling ..

I also like to integrate the GRASS topmodel for hydrology  - we'll see 
if i am able to do this ;)

regards
Werner
