The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software allows personnel to layout several different data sets for one geographic location. For example, a person could layout all the intermittent streams, perineal streams, ponds, lakes and farm ground for a desired geographic area. As demonstrated in the upper right hand picture, these individual data sets could then be layered to formulate one spatial map with all the desired data included.
