    (2013-06-27) Mireri Kepha;
    The objecuve of the prolect was to use GIS Technology, methods, issues and tools that arc established and can be used by watet resource managers to quick practical and efficient usc in the area of water supply. Site data was got from the existing. The project highlighted practical aspects applied especially in the GIS technology computer lab and the photogrammetric lab. Also bears intense theoretical explanations that have been undertaken in both labs. The project is aimed at partial fulfillment of the course of Diploma in Land Surveying. The task of this project involved documenting about GIS selecting a site and mapping it with GIS, analyzrng tools and demonstrating operation and maintenance of water supply system. The mapping of the area commcnced on 10'n Apnl 2004 for in the GIS computer lab. Computer was the major machine that was put into use ancl mtrrot stereoscopy. Survey did plan was the sourccm atc!:iaal nd thus the baseo f thc projcct. The map was edited to come up with site overlay where the pipes and other water elements were incotporated. The outcome was a rvater distribuuon system to 1280 people approximatedA. ftet analysingt he system,t he map was then pdnted at a scaleo f 1:1500. Thus the project is a reliable data, source of reference for future planning.
