Esri applications
Sustaining biodiversity and preventing fragmentation, extinction, and natural resource depletion are crucial to conservation of the environment. The ability to use GIS technology as a tool to monitor habitat change, track wildlife demographics, and predict future land and resource use is essential to conservation goals and practices. The spatial and thematic aspects of GIS technology enable users to overlay various data to delineate and predict the future of our resources, land, ocean, plant life, and wildlife. This geoprocessing enables decision makers to implement laws and programs that will protect and sustain the environment and its resources.
For years, petroleum companies have used Esri`s GIS to decide where to drill a well, route a pipeline, build a refinery, and reclaim a site. Today`s GIS provides oil and gas industry solutions throughout the petroleum life cycle. All major oil companies in the world use Esri`s GIS technology to manage their location-based information, from leases, wells, and pipelines to environmental sites, facilities, and retail outlets.
GIS is a powerful tool for developing solutions for water resources such as assessing water quality and managing water resources on a local or regional scale. Hydrologists use GIS technology to integrate various data and applications into one, manageable system. The suite of tools contained in Arc Hydro facilitate the creation, manipulation, and display of hydro features and objects within the ArcGIS environment.
