Web Scraping and Mapping Dam Levels in Python and Leaflet

Welcome to the Web Scraping and Mapping Dam Levels in Python and Leaflet. In this series we will be building a python GIS application from scratch, using a variety of open source technologies. The purpose of this series 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. The data we will be working with on the front-end will be serialized into geojson format. The mapping library we will use is Leaflet.js, which is a javascript library that is used to build maps and map applications for free. On the server side we will be using Python 3 Django combined with scientific libraries like pandas, for our data transformation and conversion operations. We will also be using web scraping to collect our data from a website, using a library called BeautifulSoup. The operating system that we will be working on is Ubuntu Linux 16.04.
