About the project

GIS app that lets farmers consult parcel data and water management information

The Perceelwijzer app gives farmers direct answers in the field to questions such as "Can I irrigate my land?" or "When will the grass be mowed?". The app shows parcel boundaries, water levels, weirs and monitoring wells on an interactive map.

In addition to the app, The Next App also developed a management CMS that allows water authorities to centrally manage notifications and content. Currently five water authorities are connected: Brabantse Delta, Limburg, De Dommel, Aa en Maas and Rijn en IJssel.

Challenge and approach

The challenge

Making complex geo-data accessible to farmers

Water authorities work with extensive geographic datasets that are difficult for farmers to consult. Het Waterschapshuis wanted an app that allows farmers to see directly in the field which rules and water management situations apply to their parcel.

The approach

Flutter with GIS map layers and management CMS

We built a Flutter app with GIS map integration showing parcel boundaries, water levels, weirs and monitoring wells on an interactive map. Farmers can submit notifications directly from the app. In a management CMS, water authorities manage notifications and content centrally.

Result

Water management is directly accessible in the field

Farmers get direct answers to questions about their parcel in the app. Via GIS map layers, they see parcel boundaries, water levels and relevant water management information in real time.
