240412170 GIS APPLICATIONS IN HYDROLOGY AND SPATIAL MODELING ( 3 Crd.Hrs )

Pre-Requisites : 240411130, 240412100

In this course, students will learn about hydrology of surface water and groundwater. GIS interpolation techniques, Spatial Analyst, and 3D Analyst along with other tools embedded in ArcGIS will be used to build digital elevation models (DEM) and so delineating stream networks and watershed outlets and boundaries. Climate elements including temperature, wind, and precipitation of various layers of the atmosphere and factors affecting the climate, foundations of climate classifications, climatic regions and their distribution and characteristics. GIS interpolation techniques will be used to create rainfall isohytal maps and groundwater level contour maps and correlate that to climate change. Case studies from Palestine will be given in this course.
