Flooding and Regional Planning
For any regional planning it is important to understand the landscape and the natural forces that are shaping it and water is one of the most important natural force. Base data, especially topography and geology data is very important to understand the slopes and terrain, to extract water ways/watersheds and understand aquifers and groundwater recharge areas. In a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) this can be processed to project various scenarios.
