This is the wiki for Midvatten plugin for QGIS!

The plugin is intended to be a toolset that makes QGIS an interface for editing/viewing hydrogeological observational data (drillings, water levels, seismic data etc). Observational data is stored in a spatial-enabled SQLite database (i.e. spatialite) or a PostgreSQL database with PostGIS extension.

Read about the features here. Instructions for usage are also found on this wiki, and so is a (somewhat outdated) tutorial.

Some of the available features:

Instead, try to ask your questions (and give your answers) at gis.stackexchange. gis.stackexchange is probably also a good place to ask questions if you are uncertain if your problem is actually related to Midvatten plugin, QGIS or some other plugin involved in your workflow.

If you encountered a bug in Midvatten plugin, then please give a full description of your problem, including screen shots etc and report here

If your problem is related to QGIS or the QGIS2threejs plugin, then use the corresponding bug trackers here and here.
