Groundwater quality in Hyderabad has special significance and needs great attention of all concerned since it is the major alternate source of domestic, industrial and drinking water supply. The present study monitors the ground water quality, relates it to the land use / land cover and maps such quality using Remote sensing and GIS techniques for a part of Hyderabad metropolis. Thematic maps f...

In India, near Chennai, Pammal Panchayat of Tambaram Taluk, there are more than 145 tannery industries functioning since 1945, covering six square kilometre area. To assess the level of chemical contamination of the study area, 3D model Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) has been generated using GIS software such as Arc Sene, Arc Map. Using the cross validation technique from the software ana...

Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus (EEEV; family Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus) a highly pathogenic mosquito-borne virus is endemic to eastern North America. The ecology of EEEV in Florida differs from that in other parts of the USA. EEEV in the Northeastern USA is historically associated with freshwater wetlands; however no formal test of habitat associations of EEE in Florida has been reported...

In spatial database, geographic information system (GIS) technology and system engineering theory, the hydro-ecological spatial database was built, and the corresponding hydro-ecological spatial database management information system was designed and developed. From aspects of the data organization and classification, the overall structure of the database, database construction processes and da...

ents near these stations become increasingly steep. The generalized skew map selected for this study was based on a grid spacing of 20,000 meters and 12 stations. The part of the map for western Oregon is shown in figure 8. This map was selected because it had the smallest mean square error while having skew isolines that are smooth and with no peaks or valleys. This map offers considerable imp...

SF6 is the main mode of insulation in a GIS. However, in recent years, the future use of SF6 has been debated throughout the world in spite of it having all the desirable properties of a good insulating and arc quenching medium. Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) has been used as a gaseous dielectric (insulator) in high voltage equipment since the 1950s. It is now known that SF6 is a potent greenhouse w...

AGNPS, which is an agricultural non-point source pollution model, was used in combination with GIS tools to assess the feasibility of water quality effluent trading for phosphorus, in Morrow Lake sub-watershed, Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA. GIS software packages (Arc/Info and ArcView) were used to prepare data input for the model and post process the results. The sensitivity of AGNPS parameters was...
