Lynn E. Johnson Geographic Information Systems in Water Resources Engineering

A comprehensive coverage of water resource systems and the use of geographic information systems (GIS) to understand "water resources engineering, planning, and design" (p. 1), this book informs professionals and laymen on those topics. By explaining the structure and components of GIS, its databases and representative and analytical operations, and modeling capabilities, the reader examines the interface between the two. Specific areas of study include groundwater, urban water and irrigation systems, urban waste water and storm water, flood plain modeling, water quality measurement, water monitoring and forecasting, and river basin management.
