This book was released on 2016-02-08 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GIS and Geocomputation for Water Resource Science and Engineering not only provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of geographic information systems but also demonstrates how GIS and mathematical models can be integrated to develop spatial decision support systems to support water resources planning, management and engineering. The book uses a hands-on active learning approach to introduce fundamental concepts and numerous case-studies are provided to reinforce learning and demonstrate practical aspects. The benefits and challenges of using GIS in environmental and water resources fields are clearly tackled in this book, demonstrating how these technologies can be used to harness increasingly available digital data to develop spatially-oriented sustainable solutions. In addition to providing a strong grounding on fundamentals, the book also demonstrates how GIS can be combined with traditional physics-based and statistical models as well as information-theoretic tools like neural networks and fuzzy set theory.

This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing land and water is a complex affair. Decisions must be made constantly to allocate and use natural resources. Decision and action in any use of resources often have strong interactions and side-effects on others, therefore it is extremely important to monitor and forecast the impacts of the decisions very carefully. Reliable information and clear data manipulation procedures are compulsory for monitoring and forecasting. Remote Sensing has considerable potential to provide reliable information. A Geographic Information System is an easy tool for manipulating and analysing the data in a clear and fast way. This book describes in seven practical examples how GIS and Remote Sensing techniques are successfully applied in land and water management.

Book excerpt: The population on planet Earth will increase from 6 billion to 8.1 billion people in 2030 and will overlap with an augment in water demands to convene human needs, according to FAO forecasts. Fresh water has come to an end to be an unlimited resource to become a relatively limited and scarce one. To meet future demands for food with an increasingly scarcity of water supply, it is a must to manage our water resources better. When water supplies are abundant & environmental pollution & degradation is no issue, water managers can afford to be lax in its management with population growth & the effects of cyclic droughts on irrigated agriculture have put pressure on the available water resources. In managing groundwater resources, Geographical Information System (GIS) are tools capable of storing and managing spatial hydrogeological data by spatial referencing in digital formats. The correlation of all data with location is the key feature of GIS, which provides the ability to analyze and model hydrologic processes and produce results in maps and in digital formats. Thus, GIS can be considered a support system in decision making and an ideal tool for monitoring certain hydrogeological processes with socio-economic impacts. GIS and Geocomputation for Water Resource Science and Engineering not only covers the fundamentals of geographic information systems but also exhibits how GIS and mathematical models can be included to develop spatial decision support systems to support water resources planning, management and engineering. Current GIS applications are presented including surface hydrologic and groundwater modeling, water supply and sewer system modeling, stormwater and nonpoint source pollution modeling for urban and agricultural areas, and other related applications. Future research and development needs in this field are presented. The application of GIS in water resources is constantly on the rise. In order to stress the importance of GIS in water resources management, applications related to this area are addressed and evaluated for efficient future research and development.
