Hydroinformatics and GIS: Applications in Water and Environment Resources Management
Hydroinformatics concentrates on the utilization of data and software in addressing the increasingly serious problems of the equitable and efficient use of water the different sectors. Growing out of the earlier discipline of computational hydraulics, the numerical simulation of water flows and related processes remains a backbone of hydroinformatics, which encourages a focus not only on the technology but on its application in a social and economic context.
