Abstract
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
technology has been an invaluable component of the
Atlanta Regional Commission's efforts in the Source
Water Assessment Project. In fact, GIS has been
involved in nearly every stage of the project, including
watershed delineation, mapping of potential pollutant
sources, generation of working maps for field
verification, and visual and spatial analysis. By
utilizing the data integration, visualization, and analysis
capabilities of GIS to complete the Metro Atlanta
SWAP, a foundation is being created for future
watershed protection efforts in the Atlanta region.
