Section outline

    • In this module you'll learn how to perform map algebra using the PCRaster Python library.

      We assume that you already have a basic knowledge of Python. Otherwise, first follow the course Programming for Geospatial Hydrological Applications.

      There are three Jupyter Notebook tutorials:

      • Map algebra for finding inaccessible wells in a study area
      • Interpolation of borehole data using Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) and Thiessen methods
      • Stream and catchment delineation

      After this module you'll be able to:

      1. Explain the concepts of map algebra
      2. Convert rasters using GDAL in Python
      3. Use PCRaster in Python for map algebra
      4. Use PCRaster for interpolations
      5. Use PCRaster for stream and catchment delineation
