Online Course Explores GIS Applications to Water Systems

摘要

ASCE recently launched the online, on-demand course GIS Applications in Water, Wastewater, and Storm-Water Systems, which provides detailed instruction in planning, designing, mapping, modeling, monitoring, inspecting, maintaining, and operating water, wastewater, and storm-water systems. A geographic information system (GIS) is a system for managing data in a geographic context. To effectively capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and display the information it contains, hardware, software, and personnel are required. More than 80 percent of all the information used by water, waste-water, and storm-water utilities exists in a geographic context.
