Digital transformation plays a major role in solving these issues. Geographic Information Systems (GIS), in particular, have proven to be an excellent resource to tackle this problem, which is exacerbated by climate change and increasing water scarcity. GIS are an essential information-gathering tool for effective water-cycle management. The use of a ...

There is considerable experience with peatland rewetting in various parts of the world. This information is highlighted in the Wetlands International submission of opportunities with high mitigation potential, which we recommend the Secretariat to use to update the technical paper. ...
Next Generation (NextGen) Geospatial Information System (GIS) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Cold War legacy sites environmental records—spanning nearly 40 years—in the Environmental Database, are managed by the DOE Office of Legacy Management (LM). ...
Finally, the REI values were estimated by linearly combining the 16 measured factors for the 269 river subsections and mapped using a geospatial information system platform. We expect that the REI will be used to increase the efficient allocation of national budgets for environmentally-friendly river restoration projects of the country's national rivers. ...
This paper introduces Japan's institutional efforts on city–level information systems and geospatial databases in various historical phases in the context of urban planning and e–government. The study of urban planning information systems and geospatial data building has been led by the national government from the ...

Most of us are familiar with the 'can you hear me now' commercial - a spectacled technician from a major wireless carrier moves about with a dedicated team testing the voice clarity of the network. Geographic information system (GIS) technology (Foote and Lynch, 2011), together with the use of existing data collection hardware, allows analysts to map results of mobile networks ...
This paper attempts to; analyze existing schemes of site selection; introduces an appropriate method of locating flood-spreading sites using Geospatial Information System; implements the strategy in a case study; and scientifically assesses its results. ...
Landmark Solutions, the UK provider of geospatial information, solutions and services, was selected by DEFRA as the prime contractor to carry out noise mapping for the Potteries area of the West Midlands. ...
Geospatial information systems (GIS) provide a central infrastructure for computer supported crisis management in terms of database, analytical models and visualisation tools, but the user interfaces of such systems are still hard to use, and do not address the special needs of crisis managers who often work in teams and make judgements and decisions under ...
