GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) FOR WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

Geographical Information System (gis) for Water Resources Management

Water resources projects are inherited with overlapping and at times conflicting objectives. These projects are often of varied sizes ranging from major projects with command areas of millions of hectares to very small projects implemented at the local level. Thus, in all these projects there is seldom proper coordination which is essential for ensuring collective sustainability. Integrated wat...

Over the past decades, controversial and conflictladen water-allocation issues among competing municipal, industrial and agricultural interests have raised increasing concerns. Particularly, growing population, varying natural conditions and shrinking wa...

Geographical Information System based Management Information System (GISMIS)

Information technology tools are being used more frequently by transportation agencies all over the United States in an attempt to increase productivity. Especially, very large depository of documents such as, right of way (ROW) maps or plan files for each state road sections ever built and kept by these agencies constitute a major challenge in terms of their efficient processing and retrieval ...

Inferring Geographical Ontologies from Multiple Resources for Geographical Information Retrieval

Many documents that can be found in the World Wide Web include some kind of geographical information, often in an implicit way. The use of resources like gazetteers and geographical ontologies can improve the results in Geographical Information Retrieval. Unfortunately, the construction of such ontologies is a long and laborious process; therefore, building an ontology in a semi-automatical way...
