Water resurces management requires not only some direct values as precipitation amounts but also more elaborated data as days without rain. Based on the CHIRPS dataset for year 2022 stored on NetCDF format we have elaborated a map of days without rain for a given country and exported the results as a fully geospatial raster. There is a particular discussion about the data type and the data value to calculate and store value just for the selected location,

Instructor
Saul Montoya M.Sc
Hydrogeologist - Numerical Modeler
Mr. Montoya is a Civil Engineer graduated from the Catholic University in Lima with postgraduate studies in Management and Engineering of Water Resources (WAREM Program) from Stuttgart University – Germany with mention in Groundwater Engineering and Hydroinformatics. Mr Montoya has a strong analytical capacity for the interpretation, conceptualization and modeling of the surface and underground water cycle and their interaction. He is in charge of numerical modeling for contaminant transport and remediation systems of contaminated sites. Inside his hydrological and hydrogeological investigations Mr. Montoya has developed an holistic comprehension of the water cycle, understanding and quantifying the main hydrological dynamic process of precipitation, runoff, evaporation and recharge to the groundwater system.
