Abstract
Water is one of the most important requirements in daily life, which represents the largest part of the Earth. As a result of the economic, industrial and social development in most countries led to increased pollution in water resources. It is, therefore, necessary to monitor water quality continuously to prevent a future catastrophe that adversely affects the quality and quantity of water wealth. Geographic Information System (GIS) is used in various fields to monitor, analyze data collected from different geographical locations. Integration of GIS and other technologies has become an indispensable tool. This gives us direct control over solution expansion, cost reduction, powerful complex case analysis as well as increased accuracy and efficiency of geospatial data. In recent years, many combinations of GIS with different technologies such as remote sensing, wireless sensor networks, internet of things approaches have been proposed due to the rapid progress of technology development in many applications. However, in last several years, there is no survey paper has been published about water quality using the integration of GIS and other technologies. Therefore, this paper investigates the status of continuous search in the field of GIS and its integration with other technologies (Remote Sensing, Internet of Things, Web, etc.) for water quality management and monitoring to maintain the water resources in a proper way. As conclusions, the integration of the GIS with these technologies is a powerful platform for analyzing and processing big data and mapping geographic remotely in less time, less cost, high speed and with more accurate details and in real time compared to traditional geographic information systems. This paper also highlights future research trends about the cooperation of GIS with other technologies for matters that are related to water quality. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2021-02-03-10 Full Text: PDF
Highlights
Water is one of the most essential necessities in day-by-day lifestyles which contains major parts of the Earth’s hydrosphere [1,2,3]
This study showed that the use of cloud computing for water quality management helps to raise awareness and make the community realize the magnitude of pollution
This paper presents a review of the recent previous works for the integration of Geographic Information System (GIS) applications with different technologies such as Remote Sensing, Internet of Things (IoT), Web, cloud computing, etc., for water quality improvement
Summary
Water is one of the most essential necessities in day-by-day lifestyles which contains major parts of the Earth’s hydrosphere [1,2,3]. Water quality has become a major issue in the management of natural resources because of the problem of water pollution with chemicals or other polluting substances. This affects human health directly or indirectly [5]. Due to the spatial nature of water on Earth, Geographic Information System can be used to model water resources effectively and it provides an effective tool in analysing and assessing the degree of water pollution .this technique is important for decision-makers in land reclamation, groundwater management, and water quality control.
