QGIS 4 ready Active
Yes — GEAQUA Capture Zones supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).
Analytical delineation of groundwater time-of-travel capture zones for a single pumping well.
About
GEAQUA Capture Zones is a Polish-English QGIS tool for analytical delineation of time-of-travel capture zones for one pumping well in a homogeneous aquifer with uniform regional groundwater flow. The current method follows Ceric and Haitjema (2005) and supports centric circular, eccentric circular and uniform-flow capture-zone approximations, including the zero ambient-flow limit. The plugin is intended for screening, documentation and hydrogeological analysis. Calculated zones require professional review and are not automatically legally designated protection areas. No external Python dependencies are required.
