QUIMET

	Output characterisation
OUTPUT SENTENCE	Geographical Information System based hydrogeochemical analysis tools
OUTPUT TYPE	procedure
WATER TOPIC	Quality of natural systems
KEYWORDS	gis, hydrogeoquemical, database
MARKET NEED TAILORED	There are available multiple tools to perform hydrogeochemical analysis, however: There is a potential for improvement of an integration of the existing tools. There is a need to fully incorporate into GIS environment tools to perform a complete hydrogeochemical analysis
OUTPUT DESCRIPTION	The GIS-base software offers a user friendly GIS environment with a large variety of automatic tools developed specifically for the management and analysis of hydrogeological data to facilitate their integration and interpretation. It has a complete internal structure database where the consultation and the introduction of the data is simple and allow different multi-criteria query forms and utilities. The developed tools add the spatio-temporal analysis required to complete the analysis in other software platforms.
STATE OF DEVELOPMENT	Software Ready to be used, but marketable issues should yet be defined. Output has already been used by a hydrogeological company in water resources management and in two water management agencies.
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS AND ADVANTAGES	Readiness for use; Transferability; Integrated tool; Instruction manual; Enables cooperation with other countries; - Reduce time and resources as it entails a database which improves the hydrogeological data management. - Fully GIS integrated allowing the use of further geospatial analysis tools. This software platform enables the user to perform from basics hydrochemical analysis to more complex calculations.
INTELLECTUAL/INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY RIGHTS	Intellectual Property belongs to theresearch team. Official intellectual copyright in process.
TRANSFERABILITY	Possibility to transfer the output in other territories, other scale or other technical or thematic field.
POTENTIAL USERS/CLIENTS	Water managers (groundwater departments), Hydrogeological consultancies and universities.
BUSINNESS CASE	Yes
	Estimation of risks
INNOVATIVE DISADVANTAGE	To fully use this tool it is required to have basic GIS knowledge. Less innovative existing tools can be used for the same purpose but they are not fully integrated in a powerful GIS environment.
EVALUATION OF RISKS FOR OUTPUT USERS	Low risk for implementation
ECONOMICAL RISKS	The GIS software (existing; ArcGIS, ESRI) need to be available in order to use QUIMET, so that licence payment is needed.
	Steps ahead
NEXT STEPS TO ACHIEVE THE STATUS 'READY TO USE'	More dissemination to potential users to create awareness on this tool.
INVOLVEMENT OF THE OWNER FOR THE NEXT STEPS	Yes: Partnership – to further develop other functionalities. commercial agreement - To exploit the software
TYPE OF PARTNER FOR THE NEXT DEVELOPMENTS	Partnership – water management agencies (basin and sub-basin authorities), geological surveys, research centres Commercial agreement - water management agencies, hydrogeological companies.
	Estimation of ressources
RESOURCES FOR NEXT STEPS	Human resources and collaborative/commercial agreements to further extent the software functionalities.
