Study of Bali Rivers Water Quality via Automated Workflow Using Python and ArcGIS Tools

ABSTRACT

The article shows the results of joint research of scientists from Indonesia (Udayana University) and Russia Federation (Lomonosov MSU and Water Problems Institute RAS). Within the frameworks of the research, the water quality of natural water bodies is explored in the Bali island. Initial data for investigation was taken from state environmental reports. The main goal was to systematize data, find optimal ways for data storage and representation and make an overview of water quality in Bali island, to explore the spatial and temporal aspects. Database construction and programming used Python to build GIS project to maintain the research. There are concepts of workflow in the article and some primary conclusions concerning the current monitoring system and spatial distribution of pollutants in river basins.
