Role of GIS in Environmental Science & Engineering :
Geographic Information systems (GIS) have become important tools in
efficiently solving many problems in which spatial data are important.
Natural resources and Environmental concerns, including groundwater
have benefited greatly from the use of GIS. It is becoming powerful
computer tools for varied applications ranging from sophisticated analysis and
modeling of spatial data to simple inventory and management.
GIS incorporates data that describes population characteristics, socio-
economic conditions and the landscape and analysis the spatial relationship of
these factors.
