Abstract:
The demand for the storage, analysis and display of complex and voluminous spatial data has led, in recent years, to the Use of computers for data handling and the creation of sophisticated information systems. Effective use of large spatial volume is dependent upon the existence of efficient systems that can
transform these data into useable information. Geographic
Information System (GIS) is designed to accept large volumes of
spatial data, derived from variety of sources, including remote
sensors and to efficiently store and retrieve, manipulate,
analyse and display these data according to user defined
specifications. In this report all of these components are
covered in different chapters alongwith a case study.
The present report has been prepared by Sh. S.K.Jain and
S.K. Goyal , Scientist 'B' and is a part of training which they
obtained at International Institute of Aerospace Survey and Earth
Sciences (ITC), Enschede,The Netherlands within the frame work
of Indo-Dutch Training Program on water management (WAMATRA
PHASE-II).
