GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.

Starting 2016, GI_Forum publishes two issues a Year.

Abstract

This paper describes the use of satellite imagery and GIS within projects of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and describes how this type of information can be used as a support in the humanitarian field, specifically for the support of water supply in urban settings. The paper presents a brief overview of a project in the Kidal urban settlement in Mali, Africa, where the ICRC was exploring the development and management of water supply services and investigating how remote sensing can support and improve future groundwater planning, as current resource availability within aquifers underlying Kidal is poorly understood. The project is a strong collaboration between the ICRC, Groundwater Relief and the University of Salzburg (Z_GIS).

Keywords: satellite imagery, ICRC, water network, Kidal, urban analysis
