USAGE OF GIS DURING THE MONITORING OF WASTES UTILIZATION AND SAVING

The problem of wastes utilization is one of the global problems of mankind. Environmental studies conducted during the recent decades in many countries around the world have shown that the growing destructive effects of anthropogenic factors on the environment have brought it to the brink of crisis. Continuous environmental pollution by solid, liquid and gaseous wastes from production and consumption, cause environmental degradation and has recently remained the most pressing environmental problem of social and economic priority. Effective monitoring of dynamically developing natural-technical systems requires reliable and up-to-date data about objects and processes in their territories, as well as advanced technologies of accumulation, processing and submission of information. Today the most objective and capacious source of spatial and semantic information about the state of the Earth’s surface and its objects are the Earth’s Remote Sensing materials.
