       INTRODUCTION       A Geographical Information System (GIS) is a framework for capturing, gathering, managing, and analyzing data. Rooted in the science of geography, GIS integrates many types of data. It analyzes spatial location and organizes layers of information into visualizations using maps and 3D scenes. With this unique capability, GIS reveals deeper insights into data, such as patterns, relationships, and situations, helping users make smarter decisions. GIS provides a range of capabilities to handle georeferenced data, including  (a) Data Capture and preparation, (b) Data management (storage and maintenance), (c) Data manipulation and analysis, and (d) Data presentation . The ability to manage and process spatial data is a critical component of any functioning GIS. Data processing systems refer to hardware and software components that are able to process, store and transfer data. Computers are also becoming increasingly affo...
