1.9 GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS
This master planning effort made extensive use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
technology, for completing the following tasks:
Develop the physical characteristics of the hydraulic model (pipes and junctions, wells, and
storage reservoirs)
Allocate existing water demands, as extracted from the water billing records, and based on
each user’s physical address.
Calculate and allocating future water demands, based on future developments water use
Extract ground elevations along the distribution mains from available contour maps
Generate maps and exhibits used in this master plan
