Ready-made, Water Resources Dashboards

Create four water Power BI reports from scratch!

In the second module you'll learn how to analyse qualitativedata (from community surveys) and get a deep-dive intovisualisations including custom visuals, formatting andcorporate styles. You'll learn how to share your report online,navigate the online service and configure a mobile report.

WATER FORECAST SCENARIOS

WATER BALANCE MODELLINGIn the  third module we'll focus on streamlining datatransformations (Power Query and M) and DAX calculationsto compute an interactive water balance from water resourcemodelling outputs. You'll learn how to configure your reportto automate data import and error handling.

In the fourth module, we'll bring together all the conceptsand create an interactive decision support tool to dynamicallyproject water supply and demand for a range of climate andpopulation growth scenarios.

In the first module you'll learn the fundamentals of Power BI,from how to automate data import (Power Query), createsimple calculations (DAX) and interactive visuals to analyselong-term and seasonal trends in streamflow.
