  Python essentials for water

  Python. Python has become part of the toolbox of scientists and engineers, and has numerous applications in hydrology. By mastering Python, you are able to extend data analysis and modelling capabilities far beyond what is possible with spreadsheets, GIS platforms and other standard software.
  
  This course is intended for anyone working in the water sector, regardless of their Python experience. Over three sessions this introductory course will teach you the fundamentals of Python and provide an overview of its most important libraries. The course will give you the confidence to create basic programs to process hydrological data and calculations. Register now to make Python a part of your professional toolbox!
