Geographical information systems (GIS) are now sophisticated and stable enough that water utilities can integrate them with hydraulic models long used in moving water. This handbook identifies steps and challenges in leveraging GIS data to create a geospatially based modeling solution. There are no recipes, because every situation is so different, but a lot of principles and methods. The topics are benefits, principles, network connectivity, integration in practice, and GIS tools for model maintenance. There is no index. (Annotation ©2011 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
