This paper presents in a rigorous and practical manner the way of developing and implementing a GIS, in which surveyed data is processed and the final results that contribute to the analysis and solving issues that arise on a day, to day basis, in the uninterrupted process of using a drinking water supply network, in order to improve its efficiency and the quality of the services. Using GIS software, maps and other cartographic data can be introduced into the system. Afterwards, the data can be stored for long periods of time, accessed at any point and easily analysed. With the tools made available by the GIS software, the datasets can be processed and new relevant information can be extracted which can be designed and printed as new maps. Such a system is truly a transformative ensemble of software because it has the power of changing the way decisions are made in a agricultural company, or anywhere in the world. In the field of hydraulics where it shall be used, it has been proven that the use of a GIS allows for a better and more detailed understanding of the water network and the way various network elements interact with each other. For an improved management of the water network, it is possible to also add to the database details regarding the quality and quantity of delivered water in a certain region. This makes merging all of the information in one system very important. All this precise information will improve the efficiency from a technical standpoint and also from an administrative one which will result in higher quality services for the customers.
