Remote sensing, image processing and GIS training and technical assistance for Commission Ejecutiva Hidroelectrica Del Rio Lempa (CEL), San Salvador, El Salvador
- Computer Assisted Development, Inc., Fort Collins, CO (United States)
The Commission Ejecutiva Hidroelectrica Del Rio Lempa (CEL) has purchased an ERDAS image processing and GIS system which has been installed at CEL facilities in San Salvador. The objective of CEL is to develop the technical capability and expertise for successful use of computer-based image processing and analysis by geographic information system (GIS). Apparently, El Salvador currently does not have this technology and CEL is committed to taking the lead in its development. The objectives of the professional development workshop were to: provide instruction in the background and principles of remote sensing and raster-based GIS; expose the participants to applications of interest; provide hands-on experience using all modules of the ERDAS system; explore with participants and US experts approaches to projects anticipated to use the ERDAS system. The workshop took place at CADI in Fort Collins during October 3--14, 1988. There were five participants from CEL with expertise in the following areas: soil science and watershed management, geology, computer science/information management, hydrology, civil engineering and statistics.
