| Summary: | State-of-the-art GIS spatial data management and analysis tools are revolutionizing the field of water resource engineering. Familiarity with these technologies is now a prerequisite for success in engineers' and planners' efforts to create a reliable infrastructure. "GIS in Water Resource Engineering" presents a review of the concepts and applications of GIS in the various sub-fields of water resource engineering. After a summary review of analysis and database functions, the book addresses concepts and applications in the following areas: Surface Water Hydrology; Groundwater Hydrology; Water Supply and Irrigation systems; Wastewater and Storm water Systems; Floodplain Management; Water Quality; Water Resource Monitoring and Forecasting; and, River Basin Planning and Management.The book develops a general understanding of the nature of GIS and how it is used to create and analyze geographic data. The author first introduces primary field data collection methods and describes procedures for interpretation and analysis. The second portion of the book focuses on the linkage of GIS data with water resource analysis and management models. |
