dc.description.abstract | Groundwater is a vital resources for member states in the Southern African Development Community (SADC). However, sustainable managing groundwater resources in SADC is a challenge. Amongst the many issues facing groundwater managers in SADC, limited access to high fidelity data, as well as a poor understanding of the techniques needed to transform the data into information, has hampered the decision making process. Big data relates to large, voluminous and heterogenous datasets which are being generated through numerous activities, such as computer simulations, remote sensing, commercial transactions, internet activity, monitoring networks, IoT sensors, historical documents, social media and many others. | en_US |
