Summary
Geographic information systems (GIS) are discussed encompassing data base management, geodatabase, data structure of geographic features, topologic data structure, geographic data model, type of data models, Earth datum, map projection, map scale, geoprocessing and geovisualization, delineation of drainage areas and streams, and derivation of hydrologic parameters using GIS.
