Review: This book gives a practical approach to how to document GIS applications for water, wastewater and storm water systems. It explains how to use GIS to facilitate tasks and to increase productivity, hence saving time and money. The book starts by describing why GIS applications are important and how they are created. It goes on to describe four GIS related technologies: remote sensing applications; DEM applications; GPS applications; and Mobile GIS. The bulk of the book covers the GIS applications that are particularly important to the water industry professionals: mapping, monitoring, modelling and maintenance. These define some of the most important activities for the efficient management of water, wastewater and storm water systems.
