Water Development Department

Geographical Information (GIS)

GIS Unit

In July 2011, the Water Development Department (WDD) created the Geographical Information System (GIS) unit which shall be extended on the basis of the strategic computerisation of the WDD, to cover the operation of the management of all fixed assets and information networks and will be renamed into GIS/Network Asset Register Unit). The Unit is in charge of keeping data and supporting the Department to use it.

The unit covers the operational functions of the Integrated Geographical System and Fixed Assets Management System, which are considered to be necessary operations so that the WDD may achieve its objectives.

The main operation of the Unit, other than the production of operational and management reports, is to keep a reliable fixed assets data base which shall form the infrastructure to support the whole Department on GIS issues and the management of fixed assets.
