Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
GIS is a system of hardware and software used for storage, retrieval, mapping, and analysis of geographic data. Practitioners also regard the total GIS as including the operating personnel and the data that go into the system. Spatial features are stored in a coordinate system (latitude/longitude, state plane, UTM, etc.), which references a particular place on the earth. Descriptive attributes in tabular form are associated with spatial features. Spatial data and associated attributes in the same coordinate system can then be layered together for mapping and analysis. GIS can be used for scientific investigations, resource management, and development planning.

GIS differs from CAD and other graphical computer applications in that all spatial data is geographically referenced to a map projection in an earth coordinate system. For the most part, spatial data can be "re-projected" from one coordinate system into another, thus data from various sources can be brought together into a common database and integrated using GIS software. Boundaries of spatial features should "register" or align properly when re-projected into the same coordinate system. Another property of a GIS database is that it has "topology," which defines the spatial relationships between features. The fundamental components of spatial data in a GIS are points, lines (arcs), and polygons. When topological relationships exist, you can perform analyses, such as modeling the flow through connecting lines in a network, combining adjacent polygons that have similar characteristics, and overlaying geographic features.

This is urgent for a school project. Why? For example Dem. Congo. The population is growing by aprox. 3.39%. Birth rate is 42.9 but death is 10.34. Then it says it's full of poverty etc. So why is the population growing?? Won't babies die if the place isn't fit enough for child birth? I don't get it!!! AND I AM GETTING VERY ANNOYED.

The Lake Issabella Dam is rated the unsafest in the country yet the riverbeds in Bakersfield are bone dry. Why not trickle more water down, thus easing the pressure on the Dam and making Bakersfield and it's Parks a more inviting place. I have lived her 5 yrs and only one summer was there water in the river all summer. I have heard them say that we would have water in the river from now on more than once only to see them dry once again.
