Special Event - Book signing by Mike Bedford
Author of GIS for Water Management in Europe

We are very pleased to let you know that we will have the editor of the first European ESRI-Press book, Mike Bedford, signing his book in Copenhagen.

The book he edited is titled ‘GIS for Water Management in Europe’

Mike will be in the booth of the Transatlantic Publishers during the opening of the exhibition and the poster session on Monday, Nov. 8, from 5 PM – 7 PM.

A visit to the booth of Transatlantic Publishers is interesting anyhow as they will be our partner in Europe distributing the ESRI-press books to you. By using them we hope to minimize the cost of selling the books here.

GIS for Water Management in Europe

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has declared 2003 the International Year of Freshwater, and few areas have more experience in the management and study of freshwater resources than the European continent. GIS for Water Management in Europe by Mike Bedford examines how organizations and governments in Europe have embraced GIS for a myriad of water resources problems and solutions. Europe's thousands of miles of navigable lakes and rivers are critical to its economies; its coastlines reclaimed from the sea provide land and employment for thousands. Increasingly, GIS technology is the tool of choice for freshwater allocation, study, management, navigation, measurement, storage, and treatment. GIS for Water Management in Europe features case studies that examine how European water organizations in Finland, Germany, France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and other countries are using GIS for tasks such as water quality control, flood control, hydrology modeling, navigation, drinking water distribution, wastewater treatment, environmental planning, and canal design and construction.
