by Walter M. Grayman, W. M. Grayman Consulting Engineers, Cincinnati, OH, USA,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Computer Applications in Water Resources

Abstract:

A geographic information system is a computer based technology for storing and using spatial data. Many alternative methodologies exist for managing the three general types of spatial data: areal data, terrain data, and network data. The primary uses for spatial data, mapping and modeling, have been applied extensively in the area of water resources.
