TI - Quantum GIS – free and open source geographical information system
AB - 
	Free and open source software, due to liberal licensing and source code accessibility, seems to
	be perfect environment for science and research. Development of software with such license
	is supported by the biggest commercial companies, but also by local self-governments of
	countries like Switzerland, Italy or Spain. QGIS program can read and write most popular raster
	and vector formats, and works as web services client. Program was also integrated with i.a.
	GRASS GIS system and statistical environment R. QGIS is simple, yet powerful tool, which
	can be useful in hydrology and water management.
