Professionals involved in the planning, design, operation, and
construction of water, wastewater, and stormwater systems need to
understand the productivity-enhancing applications of GIS. Inspired
by an ASCE-sponsored continuing education course taught by the
author, GIS Applications for Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Systems focuses on the practical aspects of software and data tools
that enable GIS applications. The book documents and analyzes
effective use of GIS, demonstrating how you can apply the
technology to make tasks easier to perform, saving time and money
for your organization.
The book first describes GIS, detailing its importance and
explaining how to avoid potential pitfalls via a needs analysis
study. It then describes GIS-related technologies that are crucial
in applications development: remote sensing; DEM data; GPS;
Internet applications; and mobile GIS. The final ten chapters focus
on the "Four Ms" of the water industry-Mapping, Monitoring,
Modeling, and Maintenance-applications that define the most
important activities for efficient management of water, wastewater,
and stormwater systems.
Promoting a performance- (or outcome-) based style of learning,
each chapter first states learning objectives and later concludes
with a chapter summary and questions. The text encourages more
effective and natural inductive study by first presenting case
studies, then explaining procedures. This volume supplements the
text with numerous maps, tables, and illustrations.
