INTRODUCTION
This course focuses on the application of GIS and remote sensing technologies in the water distribution systems modeling, flood plain management, hydrological modeling, spatial interpolation, watershed delineation, water quality assessment and planning, constructing a ground water simulation model and connecting the spatially referenced time series data.
-
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of the course, you‘ll be able to:
- To introduce geographic information systems and remote sensing technologies.
- Enhance Data structures.
- Understand Map projections and coordinate systems.
- Understand, and gain experience on how the GIS and mapping can play a significant role in the sector of Water Network (Transmission and Distribution).
- Particularly, in the optimization of the operation, regular maintenance, predictive maintenance, proactive maintenance, pipeline and piping inspection, repair in a manner that follows international best practice and be aware of the kind of tools appropriate for each corresponding task.
-
COURSE AUDIENCE
This course is made for
