Training on GIS and Remote Sensing Applications on Watershed Characterization, Resources Management and Rainfall Forecasting

The event titled 'Training on GIS and Remote Sensing Applications on Watershed Characterization, Resources Management and Rainfall Forecasting' aims to provide participants with comprehensive skills and knowledge related to hydrological modeling, rainfall prediction, and watershed analysis utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) tools. The training consists of a detailed 10-day curriculum that includes hands-on exercises, real-world case studies, and valuable networking opportunities with professionals in the field. This course is designed for hydrologists, water resource managers, GIS/RS professionals, climate change experts, researchers, NGOs, and government agencies who work in water and environmental sectors. Participants will enhance their capacity for better watershed and resource management through insights gained from GIS/RS, leading to improved disaster preparedness and evidence-based planning for sustainable resource utilization.The training modules cover a wide array of topics, beginning with an introduction to GIS and RS concepts, followed by data sources and pre-processing techniques for watershed studies. Participants will learn to characterize watershed resources, assess soil and water resources, and utilize remote sensing for rainfall monitoring. Furthermore, the course includes training on hydrological modeling with GIS, watershed management applications, and the development of GIS dashboards for effective decision-making. A group project at the end of the training will allow participants to apply their learned skills in watershed characterization and rainfall forecasting, presenting their findings and practical recommendations. Upon successful completion, attendees will receive a certificate from Ideal Workplace Solutions certified by the National Industrial Training Authority (NITA). This event offers flexible scheduling and customized training options tailored to organizational needs, making it an excellent opportunity for professionals looking to advance their skills in GIS and Remote Sensing for effective water resource management.
