APPLICATION OF GIS

Integrated remote sensing and GIS can provide the appropriate platform for convergent analysis of diverse data sets for decision making in groundwater management and planning. A geographic information system (GIS) is also known as geospatial information system. It is a system for capturing, storing, analyzing and managing data and associated attributes which are spatially referenced to the Earth. GIS is used for spatial modelling of rainfall runoff and to prepare the data for model input, to assign effective parameters to each cell systematically, to allocate recharge and pumping rates to each grid cell, to visually compare the simulated and measured heads, to display the model results such as hydraulic heads, flow vectors and water quality contours. The GIS is used for preparing the spatial maps for the analysis puposes.
