Yes, Niedersachsen Wasser is currently in the process of further developing the SubsurfaceViewer to version 9. The focus will be on new methods for partially automated model generation through parameters.
Yes! In the future, it will be possible to join a SubsurfaceViewer community. Customised features can also be discussed within this framework.
