Management, Modelling & Maintenance of water and wastewater Using GIS- A review

Communities are routinely faced with wastewater management decisions with limited data. Local goverments need tools that make the most of available information to manage the sewerage systems. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are becoming the universal backbone in most information systems managing data for water and wastewater systems. Using GIS is a great aid in graphically presenting geo referenced information and providing the necessary tools to accurately locating needed information and linking water and wastewater management and modeling systems using the spatial position as the main indexing mechanism. In fact the capability of this technology offers great tool of how the water quality monitoring and managing can be operationalised in this country. In conclusion remote sensing and GIS technologies coupled with computer modeling are useful tools in providing a solution for future wastewater management planning to government especially in formulation policy related to sewerage
