Geographic Information Systems (GIS) consist of a powerful set of automated tools for collecting, retrieving, analyzing and communicating spatial data. Such systems involve not only the automated handling of map data and imagery, but also the automated handling of records and attributes of anything that can be tied to a geographical location on earth. The technology is applicable to remarkably diverse applications ranging from resource management to emergency response and disaster recovery, from political districting to forestry and marine studies, from mass marketing to urban infrastructure management, and from local studies through regional analysis to global change research.
BWR offers GIS services as planning, analytical and mapping tools. We have used GIS in different capacities in a variety of projects ranging from analytical purposes in growth management plans, various planning processes such as visioning exercises, linkages and land use determination, to mapping purposes in comprehensive plans.
