Geographic information system

There is a good chance that you have had some contact with geographic information systems (GIS). A GIS is a computer representation of a system that uses all pertinent survey and database information to generate intelligent maps and queries. Much has been published on the subject. In addition there are many vendors of the technology and many seminars. GIS is a complicated subject. Several early GIS projects were not successful. Often GIS projects are very expensive. [Pg.432]

the easiest GIS demonstration to understand is that for a typical city. We can all relate to the various utilities involved and can see the usefulness of a GIS for maintenance and emergencies as we view the on-screen city GIS map. Watching the layers come in and out and change color is impressive. [Pg.432]

A pipeline GIS is a close cousin to a city GIS. Our company needed to produce a GIS for a two-mainline system from New Mexico to California. A subsidiary had already begun a GIS for the gathering systems, their part of the business. [Pg.432]

To bring ourselves up-to-speed we attended seminars, talked to companies and municipalities with GIS projects, and invited vendors for presentations. Here is what we finally decided upon. [Pg.432]

We made the drafting department the lead agency to produce the GIS aided by a consultant. [Pg.432]

Additionally, the integration of geographic information system (GIS) with analytical data is an effective procedure in addressing the problem of spatial and temporal variability of the different parameters involved in the environmental fate of chemicals. Based on accurate local estimations, GIS-based models would then also allow deriving realistic and representative spatially averaged regional PECs. Table 4 shows some studies that have used GIS-based methodologies to perform a site-specific risk assessment of PECs in different exposed ecosystems. [Pg.37]

In the data manipulation module, input data sourced from several databases and from the hydrology module are transformed into appropriate geographical information system (GIS) formats [61]. Before that, the hydrology module combines several hydrological databases with a hydrological model, providing to the... [Pg.56]

The spatial distribution of the resolved components (matrix X) was integrated in the geographical information system ArcGIS (v.9.0, 2005, ESRI, Redlands, CA, USA) and displayed by means of geostatistical techniques [23] in Fig. 14. Note that the spatial distribution displayed by the geographical information system in this work refers to the distribution (scores) of the main underlying multivariate (multicomponent) patterns and sources of contamination resolved by MCR-ALS, which are not directly measurable and which are also of high environmental relevance.
