"Geographic information systems (GIS) technology can be used for scientific
investigations, resource management, and development planning. For example, a GIS might
allow emergency planners to easily calculate emergency response times in the event of a
natural disaster, or a GIS might be used to find wetlands that need protection from
pollution."
