GIS Design for Hydrogeologial Maps

project gis-mis unit is now functional

The Project GIS-MIS unit has map products for users and stakeholders. These products are developed from the project Desktop GIS. It shows updated data for Faryab province groundwater and water quality. This data is mostly taken from our implementing agency, DACAAR. Project senior hydro-geologist, Mr David Banks, had worked to clarify this data.

The design of the system and definition of information to be displayed on the hydrogeological map is in good progress but not yet finished. The detailed which should be displayed can be defined in layers of information. There are also technical information which can be displayed quite accurately. The development and display formats are shown below on this page which other key design criteria are show inseparate pages including:

- Intended functionality of GIS and WebGIS

The types of maps can shown below can be categorised as

Water Resources ( hydrogeological data)
Water supply, coverage, functionality, service coverage.

1. WATER RESOURCES MAPS DRAFTED:

Administrative maps
Location of water features (sprngs, wells and boreholes)
Depth of water
Water quality of ground water

2. WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM, COVERAGE, FUNCTIONALITY, SERVICE COVERAGE, DRINKING WATER QUALITY MAPS ..

( to be developed)

3. MAP LEDGEND AND CODING. (proposed)

Hydrogeological maps with proposed color coding and shading patterns to reflect standard information as protrayed. Click on icon to the left to download excel file to see more details as descsribed. (Rev. Oct. 2013)

**Brief introduction to the drafted Maps below.**
	The information covering water resources and water supply will be developed in a database system. The different types of information is placed in different layers and can be gathered and prepared for display in a PC screen, on printed maps and on Web maps ( t be developed) Much of the same data is used for different types of maps as can be illustrated. On the PC you can click and include information at different layers at will and print out only the information you need. This is the system now under development about to be established in RuWatSIP. Scale and type of maps will vary depending on whether we need a particular district or the whole province. Below, we have presented some of the maps and map format under construction. The data covers mainly Faryab province ( at present) and is extracted from the WSG /DACAAR database, data has been cleaned and supplemented with additional data by the current HGS project. Below are some of the map formats presented for use in the development process. (We have tried to put the latest versions of the designed maps closest to the top of the page)
