[Qgis-developer] Hydrological toolbox

[Werner Macho]

Hi Sjur!

Yes I am still on it an still want to prepare something like an
hydrological toolbox ..
So far we do not have anything "real" working .. but I know that some
people are already working behind the scenes on some plugins which I
hope that later can be integrated in this toolbox.

>From my point I have to say that I never heard of ENKI (shame on me)
and allthough I am from Vienna I even did not realise that it was
presented here ..
Is there already anything public available to take a look at? If you
need any information about QGIS or integrating plugins into QGIS just
ask..
I think your plugin will be more then welcome to extend the
possibilites of QGIS.

thanks a lot
kind regards
Werner
