  4. Problem Statement GIS mapping can be used to identify possible pollution sites in Elizabeth City.

  5. Pollution in water occurs in areas of development. • Some problems may be that there are not proper disposal areas.

Noticing a trail in the woods near the pond, a small group of students asked for permission to see where the trail lead... It lead to the startling discovery that people were living in the woods, surviving on food from the garbage and making a home out of discarded cardboard." This homelees people pulling trash form local business dumping trash. GIS can be used to local this problem."

  15. Pasquotank GIS Land Use Map

  16. GIS and Hurricanes • Ahurricane’s storm surge • can cause serious flooding • as well as pollution. • The pollution comes from debris • flowing into the water as the • flooding recedes. • The elevation map allows you to • see where flooding will occur.

  17. Uses of GIS Relating to Pollution • Used to locate sources of pollution and show where pollution is worse
