• EuroLabCourse GI and Water Domain
• Presentation of GI Technical issues (GIS as
  tools for collection, processing, analysis,
  synthesis and display of Geographical
  Information)
• GIS project examples in water domain
• Objectives
• The aim is to train young researchers on
  knowledge and practice on how to deal with GIS as
  scalable information systems, interoperable with
  software for water environment modelling
• Combination of
• Lectures
• Laboratories
• Multimedia distance learning

EuroWorkshop GI and Water Resources Assessment

• Part 1 - Demonstration of GIS as
• repositories for environmental information and
  for data mining from historical archives
• support for new ways for the investigation of
  catchment water resource balance as well as of
  pollution propagation
• tools to handle imagery (satellite views,
  meteorological radars and any other kind of
  sensor data)
• integrated systems to study natural hazards and
  to manage emergency, thus offering a tool for
  fast decision making and scenario simulation.

• Part 2 - GIS project organisation
• the user requirements, the analysis of the
  tasks, users scenarios according to topics of the
  working groups
• the development process of GIS applications for
  the water domain
• the best use of typical GIS functions in water
  applications
• how to approach standards and interoperability
  in GIS for Water domain
