Did you know the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) uses cutting-edge Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology to monitor and protect water resources? This week, we’re celebrating GIS Day on Nov. 17, 2021 by focusing on the highly specialized GIS equipment we use to gather, analyze and map geographic data. GIS technology is a powerful tool used around the world to make informed decisions that impact the future.
