Description :
Using 2-D and 3-D multi satellite data (SPOT and LANDSAT TM) in a GIS allows to produce 3-D digital elevation maps (DEM) through the techniques of remote sensing (RS) analysis and computer aided mapping. The use of 2-D and 3-D digital maps to geological and geotechnical research and risk analysis, concerns here the evaluation of the new water supply project Kathmandu-Melamchi proposed by WHO-UNDP and the World Bank.
