Abstract

The Ministry of Water Resources, Oman, undertook an extensive survey of the country's water resources in the period 1990 to 1995. A Topographic Survey Section was created to supervise contracts, train staff and supply all land survey data needs. The paper describes the fulfillment of levelling networks and geoidal modelling over a significant portion of Oman in the period 1992 to 1995. The views expressed are those of the author who acknowledges the support of all Ministry staffin support of the work described.
