| Popis: | Use of Geographic Information Systems GIS in urban stormwater modeling is a growing technology designed for storing, manipulating, analyzing, and displaying data in a geographical context. It can be characterized as a software package that efficiently relates geographic information to attribute data stored in a database. While GIS has been around since the 1960s Tsihrintzis et al. 1996 , it is only with the emergence of personal computers in the 1970s that it has found widespread use. A full realization of the potential of GIS awaits standardized and more accessible databases. Urban nonpoint pollution produces stormwater that is polluted with, for example metals, pesticides, and nutrients due to land use |
