Design of A Prototype of A Webmapping Application for the Management of the Drinking Water Supply Distribution Network in the City of Yaoundé (Center Cameroon)
Journal Title: Libyan Journal of Engineering Science and Technology - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Sustainable access to drinking water is one of the problems of Third World cities. The intervention capacities of urban space managers are largely below the real needs which are constantly increasing. In the case of Cameroon, the drinking water distribution service is provided by the CAMWATER (Cameroon Water Utilities Corporation) whose infrastructure is already insufficient to guarantee access to water for all. Even where water networks exist, the lack of knowledge of the spatial arrangement of these elements is a major constraint for maintenance and network interventions. To solve this problem, all the existing geometric and attribute data, and the data from the field in what contributes to the counters are acquired. The data collected is structured in a spatial reference database and interacting with a web interface. QGIS and ArcGIS software are chosen as the applications for the processing raw data. PostgreSQL for the RDBMS combined with Laravel (Web Framework) were used for the written in PHP. The Mapbox GL API is used for creating the client-side interface and the web authoring languages HTML and Bootstrap CSS. The result obtained is a database and a webmpping interface on the distribution systems of the drinking water network. It makes it possible to locate all the equipment on the network, identify target points and have an overview of the extent of the network.
