Course Introduction

The course will comprise a general and specific roles and applicability of how the GIS & Mapping can optimize the operation and maintenance of the Water Network (Transmission and Distribution).

This course will tackle different relative disciplines and corresponded issues like; GIS & GPS Functionality in Water Network (Transmission and Distribution), Geographic Coordinate System & Scale, Projected Coordinate Systems, Geodatabase of Water Network (Transmission and Distribution), Acquiring Data & Data Collection of Water Network, Water Network (Transmission and Distribution) Mapping Methodology, The Role of the GIS/Mapping in Optimizing the Operation and Maintenance of the Water Network, and International Case Studies & Best Practices World Wide. Moreover, this course will cover the GIS role in the field force automation (FFA) and control/monitoring systems. 


Course objective

  • Understand, and gain experience on how the GIS and mapping can play a significant role in the sector of Water Network (Transmission and Distribution).
  • Particularly, in the optimization of the operation, regular maintenance, predictive maintenance, proactive maintenance, pipeline and piping inspection, repair in a manner that follows international best practice and be aware of the kind of tools appropriate for each corresponding task.
  • The course will cover the most advanced techniques used in data collection, data processing & handling, state of the art GIS and mapping modules applied in that context.
  • Furthermore, the course will cover also the cutting age technology applied in the geo-database and scheme of the Water Network (Transmission and Distribution) affiliated with slandered attributes.
  • Noteworthy, the GIS role in the field force automation (FFA) and control/monitoring systems will be explained. Moreover, significant best practices and tangible case studies will be discussed in details as well.
