Analysis of drinking water infrastructure systems with GIS
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this study is to make heat maps in order to determine the pipeline fault areas with the geographical information system by using the location and detail information of the drinking water pipeline faults repaired by the Mersin Water and Sewerage Administration. The study area is covering Akdeniz, Mezitli, Toroslar and Yenişehir, where are the four central districts of Mersin. The coordinates of pipeline fault points were collected by GNSS. The points were analyzed with heatmap. Preventing future pipeline faults on these areas is very important. The study is going to help to prepare the advanced investment plans of the institution that invests in drinking water, and to ensure that the public institution uses these investments correctly and appropriately.
