Water & GIS Summit

Water security is the cornerstone for the Social, Economic, and Environmental wellbeing of a nation. As a result, the mapping and preservation of our water resources becomes imperative for the future of water security.

A new age of water resources management is emerging in India, supported by recent advancements in technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The latest in spatial data science and geospatial technology aid in increasing the understanding and resolution of spatial problems by scientifically establishing the status quo of key water resources – river basins, water bodies, and ground water.

Today, GIS technology has gone beyond spatial mapping, allowing users to render scalable and robust platforms that power water governance systems. It can integrate systems spanning the water lifecycle, from planning to decision-making; identify and quantify key parameters such as water resources landscape patterns and anthropogenic disturbances to freshwater ecosystems. Using GIS, one can monitor management activities of water resources in consultation with multiple stakeholders, from Central Institutions to executing State Organisations.

Join us at the Water & GIS Summit on September 6, 2024, during the Esri India User Conference. Discover the importance of GIS in your work and learn how to apply it effectively across the entire water lifecycle.

Attendees will also receive a complimentary invitation to the plenary session of the Esri India User Conference. It offers an opportunity to connect with business leaders and innovators from various industries, including government departments, funding agencies, consultants, scientists, and academia. Witness firsthand how GIS is being leveraged across sectors.
 

• Latest ArcGIS Advancements: Learn about Hydro tools and GeoAI that help in adopting a water-sensitive approach across the water lifecycle, including asset management, planning, and analysis.
• Comprehensive Field Mobility and Operational Awareness: Understand how GIS can facilitate field mobility and operational awareness by helping you take informed decisions based on near real-time datasets of water systems. Learn new ways to unlock data for integrated and collaborative water resources management.
• Increase ROI: Discover industry best practices and ways in which a service-centric approach adopted by states can enable effective water governance, bringing water security to the state.
• Innovative Geospatial Solutions: Listen to leading industry professionals share creative geospatial solutions to common challenges and understand how location intelligence can influence water governance for social, economic, and environmental sustainability.    
• Technology Insights: Explore the latest technological updates, tips, and tricks from Esri experts, for successfully deploying and implementing GIS.
