It’s an essential part of our everyday lives that we often take for granted. Behind the scenes there are many people working to ensure that we have a clean, safe, reliable water supply; that wastewater is safely routed, treated, and eventually released; and that stormwater drainage systems protect human lives, property, and the natural environment. Beginning around the time of the industrial revolution, the advent of standards in water, wastewater, and stormwater utility management led to standardized construction and water treatment practices. This has resulted in the ability to service many millions of people in urban centers without the historical health

  • Visualizing Integrated Three-Dimensional Datasets Modeling Data in the Geodatabase Using Multipatch Features
    Focus Visualizing Integrated Three-Dimensional Datasets Modeling data in the geodatabase using multipatch features By Alistair Ford Recent advances in interoperability and standards, in addition to the breakout of GIS from a specialist application toward being a widespread desktop tool, have meant that it is now in an ideal position to provide a powerful data integration tool in many industries. Industries, such as meteorology, environmental management, or oil and gas, deal with complex three-dimensional spatial data. To provide full integration, GIS Point Line Polygon Solid must handle complex three-dimensional data types and spatial representations that exist in the Basic three-dimensional geometric primitives various disciplines within these industries.

  • An Approach for Representing Complex 3D Objects in GIS Applied to 3D Properties
    DEPARTMENT OF TECHNOLOGY AND BUILT ENVIRONMENT An approach for representing complex 3D objects in GIS applied to 3D properties Fredrik Ekberg May 2007 Thesis for Degree of Master of Geomatics Examiner: Prof. Anders Östman Abstract The main problem that is addressed in this thesis is how to represent complex three- dimensional objects in GIS in order to render a more realistic representation of the real world. The goal is to present an approach for representing complex 3D objects in GIS. This is achieved by using commercial GIS (ArcGIS), applied to 3D properties. In order to get a clear overview of the state-of-the-art of 3D GIS and the current 3D cadastral situation a literature study was carried out. Based on this overview it can be concluded that 3D GIS still is in its initial phase. Current 3D GIS developments are mainly in the area of visualisation and animation, and almost nothing in the area of spatial analysis and attribute handling. Furthermore, the literature study reveals that no complete solution has been introduced that solves the problems involved in 3D cadastral registration. In several countries (e.g. Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Israel, and Australia) 3D properties exists in a juridical framework, but technical issues such as how to represent, store, and visualize 3D properties has not yet been solved. Some countries (Sweden, Norway, and Australia) visualize the footprints of 3D property units in a base map. This approach partly solves some technical issues, but can only represent 3D objects in a 2.5D environment. Therefore, research in how to represent complex objects in GIS as ‘true’ 3D objects is of great need.

  • Practical Data Interoperability for Earth Scientists Version 1.0 Christopher Lynnes, Ken Keiser, Ruth Duerr, Terry Haran, Lisa Ballagh, Bruce H
    Practical Data Interoperability for Earth Scientists Version 1.0 Christopher Lynnes, Ken Keiser, Ruth Duerr, Terry Haran, Lisa Ballagh, Bruce H. Raup, Bruce Wilson Earth Science Data Systems Working Group What Is Data Interoperability? Data interoperability is the ability for a data user to work with (view, analyze, process, etc.) a data provider's science data or model output “transparently,” without having to reformat the data, write special tools to read or extract the data, or rely on specific proprietary software. Why Bother? Inter-disciplinary science: There is an increasing emphasis on Earth System Science, that is, the study of the Earth as a system, rather than individual components. This often requires combining diverse datasets from multiple data providers. Foster collaborations: Earth System Science increasingly requires more collaborations among scientists from various disciplines, who may use software packages from different sources. Enable model/data integration and model coupling: Data interoperability helps models to incorporate observational data, and facilitates the use of models to corroborate observational data. Similarly, data interoperability facilitates coupling the output of one model to the input of another. Make data analysis easier: Many analysis and visualization tools are able to read data files with a single operation if the data are available in an interoperable form. Producing interoperable data is easier than it looks: ...at least for gridded geographical datasets. You don't need to know the details of standards, formats, etc., because there are a number of tools available to help make data interoperable. The rest of this guide presents data formats, protocols, and tools that provide interoperability by removing dependencies on specific operating systems, software packages or environments.

  • Comparison of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Software
    Created on: March 12, 2018 Author: WHO/HQ/WHE/HIM/MAP (GIS team) WHO, Geneva Comparison of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software As of January 2018, WHO has reached an agreement with ESRI (an international supplier of GIS software) for an unlimited use of ArcGIS Desktop program. However, this agreement only applies to the usage of ArcGIS Desktop within WHO (headquarters, regional and country offices). To date, this agreement is not available for other external partners including the Ministries of Health, NGOs and agencies. The purpose of this document is to provide an overall summary of different open-source (free to use) and ESRI GIS programs in terms of their capabilities and functionalities. 1. Open-source GIS There are several open-source GIS programs and analytical tools with GIS mapping capabilities available on market. These programs include, but not limited to: Stand-alone GIS application Analytical tool with GIS/mapping capabilities ● QGIS* (Quantum GIS) ● R ● GRASS (Geographic Resources ● GeoDa Analysis Support System) ● EpiInfo ● HealthMapper Among various open-source GIS programs, QGIS can be the best suitable option which can be used across partners for reasons outlined below. *Please note the criteria and descriptions outlined in this document are based on available resources and research at the time of this comparison and are subject to change according to any further updates to the tools. 1 Created on: March 12, 2018 Author: WHO/HQ/WHE/HIM/MAP (GIS team) WHO, Geneva QGIS GRASS R GeoDa EpiInfo HealthMapper ArcGIS* Supported by all common operating system User-friendly GUI Cartographical operations Supports common data formats Data manipulation and analysis Spatial analysis Manipulate geometry Statistical analysis (e.g.

  • Creating Maps in QGIS: a Quick Guide
    Creating Maps in QGIS: A Quick Guide Overview Quantum GIS, which is often called QGIS, is an open source GIS desktop application. Comparing to ArcGIS, QGIS can be installed on various operating systems, such as Windows, Mac OS X, Linux (Ubuntu), and Unix, while ArcGIS only has Windows version. More importantly, QGIS is FREE and has many plugins, adding different functions. However, since QGIS mainly relies on community support and voluntary developers, it does not have abundant documents and sometimes is not intuitive to use. Hence, making maps in QGIS needs some explanation. The two major steps, browsing data and making maps, are divided into five parts shown in the following table: No. Steps Sections Difficulties to check 1 Load Geospatial Data into QGIS 1.1 Data formats 2 Identify the features and attributes to 1.3 Layer order, feature selection, and present (briefly) frequent-used projections 3 Define how to show the data 2.2 Transparency (raster and vector), data classification, and layer file 4 Add maps components 2.3 Geospatial data references 5 Export maps 2.4 File formats Table of Contents 1.
