The truth is the State envisioned a host of areas embracing land use planning, public works programs, forestry, geology, water and air pollution, water resource management, agriculture, health environment, engineering, flood control, fluid dynamics, master planning, coastal processes, soils management, and marine biology, all had direct application to utilizing ERTS and supporting aircraft data.
