QGIS : Applications in Civil Engineering
and Watershed Delineation
.
Introduction to QGIS
QGIS, short for Quantum GIS, stands as a leading open-source
Geographic Information System (GIS) software, providing a platform for
mapping, spatial analysis, and data visualization. Developed by a
global community of contributors, QGIS offers a robust set of tools for
handling various geospatial data formats and performing complex
spatial operations.
Key Features and Capabilities:
Data Compatibility: QGIS supports a wide array of data formats,
including shapefiles, GeoTIFFs, GPS data, and databases like
PostgreSQL and SQLite.
User-Friendly Interface: With an intuitive graphical user interface
(GUI), QGIS caters to users of all levels, from beginners to experienced
GIS professionals.
Spatial Analysis: QGIS provides advanced spatial analysis tools for
tasks such as buffering, overlay analysis, interpolation, and proximity
analysis.
Cartographic Design: Users can create high-quality maps with
customizable symbology, labels, and layouts, suitable for both print
and digital publication.
Plugin Ecosystem: QGIS boasts a vibrant ecosystem of plugins and
extensions, extending its functionality to meet diverse user needs.
Understanding QGIS for
Civil Engineering
Here are some of the key uses:
Site Selection and Planning: Civil engineers can utilise QGIS to analyse terrain, land
use, environmental factors, and infrastructure availability to select suitable sites for
construction projects such as roads, buildings, bridges, and utilities.
Spatial Analysis for Infrastructure Development: QGIS enables engineers to perform
spatial analysis to optimise the design and layout of infrastructure projects. This includes
analysing elevation data, slope analysis, hydrological modelling, and determining the best
routes for roads, pipelines, and utility networks.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): QGIS facilitates the integration of
environmental data layers, enabling civil engineers to assess the potential environmental
impacts of infrastructure projects. This includes analysing habitat fragmentation, water
quality, air pollution, and noise levels.
Urban Planning and Development: QGIS is valuable for urban planners and civil
engineers involved in urban development projects. They can use QGIS to analyze
demographic data, land use patterns, transportation networks, and zoning regulations to
plan and design sustainable urban environments.
Geotechnical Engineering: QGIS supports geotechnical analysis by allowing engineers
to map geological formations, analyse soil properties, identify potential hazards such as
landslides and subsidence, and plan appropriate foundation designs for structures.
Watershed Delineation with QGIS
Water delineation in QGIS involves
identifying and mapping water bodies
such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs from
satellite imagery or other spatial data
sources. This process is essential for
various applications, including
hydrological modeling, environmental
assessment, and water resource
management
Steps involved in water delineation in QGIS
Prepare Data:
Obtain a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for the study area.
Install SAGA GIS Plugin:
Open QGIS and navigate to Plugin > Manage and Install Plugins.
Search for "SAGA GIS" and install it.
Run Fill Sink Algorithm:
In Processing Toolbox, find "Fill Sinks (wang and liu)" under SAGA.
Select DEM as input, set output filename/location, adjust parameters if needed, and click "Run".
Convert Filled DEM to Binary Raster:
Use Raster Calculator to create a binary raster (1 for water, 0 for non-water) from the filled DEM.
Polygonize Binary Raster:
Use GDAL Polygonize or Raster to Vector tool to convert the binary raster to vector polygons.
Refinement and Validation:
Review and refine delineated water bodies, comparing with reference data if available.
Post-Processing and Analysis:
Analyze water bodies (area, perimeter, etc.) and integrate with other datasets if needed.
Visualization and Presentation:
Visualize delineated water bodies using QGIS symbology and incorporate ancillary information for context.
Performed Watershed
delineation using Q.G.I.S
This was performed for Navi Mumbai
area using U.S.G.S navigator and no

Conclusion and Future
Perspectives
In conclusion, QGIS serves as a valuable tool
for civil engineers and hydrologists, offering
robust capabilities for geospatial analysis,
watershed delineation, and data management.
Embracing QGIS can enhance the efficiency and
accuracy of engineering projects, paving the
way for innovative solutions in the field of civil
engineering and watershed management.
