Geographic Information Systems

• 26 hrs lectures
• 26 hrs exercises

The goals of the course are:
to teach the principles and operation of geographic information systems;
to show how spatial hydrologic modeling can be done by developing a digital representation of the environment in the GIS, then adding functions simulating hydrologic processes;
to develop individual experience in the use of GIS in water management through execution of a term project.
Student complete goal of this course which include developing individual experience in the use of GIS in water management through execution of a term project.
