Web Scraping And Mapping Dam Levels In Python And Leaflet

Welcome to Web Scraping and Mapping Dam Levels in Python. In this course we'll be building a python GIS application from scratch using a variety of open source technologies. The purpose of this course and many more to follow, is to take geospatial analytics and convert it into a functional application.

We will be powering our application with a PostgreSQL and PostGIS database. In the front-end we'll use Bootstrap, JavaScript and Ajax. On the server side we'll be using Python 3 Django combined with use of scientific libraries like pandas, for our data transformation and conversion operations, and BeautifulSoup for web scraping and data extraction. The operating system that we will be working on is Ubuntu Linux 16.04.

At a later stage we'll be using time series forecasting to predict the consumption values for the following month using our historical data.
