About Beatona.net
The search for environmental information in Kuwait has been a challenge for the citizens and residents of Kuwait for a long time. They have usually ended up with a set of outdated and contradictory information emerging from various organizations and institutions working on the environment in Kuwait. Accordingly, Kuwait Environment Public Authority (EPA) has taken the initiative to establish Kuwait Official Environmental Portal "Beatona.net" in order to share authentic environmental information about Kuwait with the public over the internet in an easy and transparent manner. Beatona (our environment) is the Arabic name chosen for this portal, which is a key component and output of the Environmental Monitoring Information System of Kuwait (eMISK).

An UML-based data modeling for the drainage water network of the State of Lower Saxony, Germany, was developed by GISCON in preparation for the digital drainage system according to the European Union water guidelines. This included data integration, data processing, documentation of all processes and tailored training. The whole project was conducted once again for the State of Bavaria in 2003-2004.
GISCON supports the Aargau city since 2001 in the migration of their file-based spatial data holdings into central data management under ORACLE and ArcSDE. Pilot project plans, terms of references, automatic backup processes, users management, applications migration, database design and data migrations are realized through several consulting sessions. In addition, the staff of the city was trained on the data modeling and data management using ArcGIS and ArcSDE by GISCON certified instructors.
