Geographic Information System

I was just going through the reports of the Earthquake occurred at Nepal 3-4 month before , thought how India predict the presence of all natural calamities like take the case of  Cyclone Phailin which stuck the Hyderabad coast , indian scientist predicted the speed , the outcome and location etc much before the incident . Yes Absolutly GIS is doing this magic !!

GIS – Geographic Information System .It is a computer system that allow geographers to collate and analyse information in much faster way than any other method . It is a system designed to store,manipulate , analyse different type of geographic data.Nowadays, GIS has been updated to this much extent that it can be applied to any diverse field to assist professional to deal with the complex situation occurring in the nature.

GIS Contains:

•  Data are imputed in the GIS from different map, surveys conducted by professional photos by satellite etc.
•  Data storage, retrieval of useful information .
•  Conversion of data into useful information for the proper analysis of information by professional and modeling and providing different statistical graphs.
• Reporting of data and information

Potential of GIS:

GIS have the ability to integrate large quantity of information about the surrounding analysing it layer by layer and provide powerful toll to explore the data.GIS concerts into dozens of layers of map which are arranged to display information on all aspects of the nature and social environment . This system has proceeded its dominance in urban planing , environmental management . emergency planing etc. The ability to separate information in layers and analysing and combining the info for the final output is the reason why GIS have a big hand in research and decision-making .

Application
GIS is used extensively in government ,business and research for wide range of application in the environment field. It manages natural resources like wildlife habitat . earthquake. flood plans . etc and in the locating underground pipes and cables . tracking energy use etc and in land management .

Yet Another Great Innovation by Humans 😀
