GIS is a computer system that can hold and use data and
describes places on the earth’s surface. It collects, stores, retrieves,
transforms and displays spatial data from the real world for a particular set
of purposes. GIS is used in planning for locating suitable areas for industrial
growth. It helps to check unplanned growth of settlements and industries.
Thematic maps containing digital information on different
aspects like water resources, soil types, forest land, grass land is
superimposed in a layered form using computer software.
