🎉We did it!
Thanks to the amazing support from the #QGIS community, both the initial €6000 goal and the extended €7000 goal have been achieved.
Native #hydrology tools and the new flow direction & wind barb renderers will land in QGIS 4.4.
Thank you to everyone who contributed! 💚More info about the features that will be implemented by @northroadgeo and @lutraconsulting: https://www.qwast-gis.com/l/crowdfunding-native-qgis-tools-for-hydrology/

🎉Today we've reached the €6000 goal for native hydrology tools in #QGIS. Thank you🫶
This means that @northroadgeo can implement these tools so you can use them in QGIS 4.4🚀
📢 With 2 weeks left, we’re aiming for an extended goal of €7000 to add native flow direction & wind barb renderers for raster layers. If successful, this will be implemented by @lutraconsulting.

Community Mapathons in India 🇮🇳
🗺 Mapathon in Pune
In May, #UNMaps Community Ambassador Pawan Muddu joined online for a mapathon hosted by Tomtom. They completed mapping flood-affected and drought-prone areas in India.
🎤 Swecha presentation
In June, Pawan was invited to share about #UNMappers & #openstreetmap by Swecha, a #foss community in India. Students learned about OSM and how it can potentially be used for their projects.

How did Calgary respond to the wet summer of 2025?
Here’s the median summer NDVI map derived from Sentinel-2 imagery.
You can clearly see the Bow River corridor, Nose Hill Park, and the contrast between established tree-rich communities and newer developments.Full analysis here:

#DniproHesFlood
🛰️ Dam-break modelling with GRASS GISI used the r.damflood module in GRASS GIS on a historical scenario:
the destruction of the DniproHES dam by Soviet forces in August 1941 during their retreat from Ukraine.I reconstructed a pre-war DEM of the Dnipro River from old topographic maps, modeled the dam structure, and created a breach raster.
Using r.damflood, I simulated the propagation of the flood wave over the first 24 hours after the dam explosion.
Based on this model, I generated a visualization showing the wave dynamics.All tools used are fully open-source.
The results have not yet been published anywhere.#Geospatial #GIS #HistoricalGIS #DigitalHistory #Cartography #OpenData #DataAnalysis #DEM #TerrainModeling #Hydrology #DamBreak #Dnipro #DniproHES #Ukraine #Zaporizhzhia #QGIS #SAGAGIS #GRASS #FOSS4G

Booting into #Windows and wrangling #Survey123 forms for our field crew is a heck of a way to kill my #FOSS4G buzz.

Are the video recordings of #FOSS4G2022 still coming? Anyone knows?
The foss4g YT channel doesn't seem to have them. #foss4g -
