Abstract:
This research aimed at developing a web system that will allow effective dissemination,
extraction and analysis of water utilities information over the internet.
The northern region, one of the administrative regions of the Nairobi
City Water and Sewerage Company was used as a case study. The research has
customized and integrated an open source WebGIS system based on Quantum
GIS for spatial data creation, MapServer as a web GIS server and PostgreSQL/
PostGIS as a relational database. GeoMOOSE was used for the development
of an interactive and friendly geographic user interface. The developed
system enables users to view and interact with the spatial data. The research
focused on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the decision
making process and data sharing.
