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. Applications are presented with descriptions of GIS database development, analysis background theory, and model integration with GIS." "The profound impact of GIS systems on water resources engineering continues to grow. Geographic Information Systems In Water Resources Engineering arms engineers and planners with an arsenal of tools to assist in the creation of a reliable, environmentally sensitive infrastructure."--Résumé de l'éditeur. |
