Course detail

Use of Geographic information systems in Water management

FAST-DSB028Acad. year: 2022/2023

Geographic information systems offer a large number of tools and operations capable of simulating methods and approaches used in solving environmental problems. The teaching concept is focused on spatial analysis, digital models of reliefs, applications, outputs from GIS and important GIS products, especially suitable in water management and when dealing with erosion and flood protection in watersheds.
