Geographic Information Systems
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer-based tool for mapping and analyzing features
in the environment. A GIS stores information on anything that can be mapped: roads, cities, streams, wetlands, and watershed
boundaries. It combines common database management techniques with statistical and geographic analysis. A GIS is a powerful
tool because it can integrate diverse information, model complex problems, and aid in decision-making processes.
