Water-Related GISs (Geographic Information Systems) along the United States-Mexico Border

摘要

The catalog identifies 26 existing or proposed geographic information systems(GISs) that contain information on the water environment within 100 kilometers (about 62 miles) of the U.S.-Mexico border. Typical GIS outputs are maps, charts, graphs, tabular listings, and surface models. Much of the information these systems contain is useful to such water-related activities as managing point and nonpoint pollution, evaluating management alternatives for local water use planning and zoning, and modeling the effects of existing and proposed activities on water quality.
