Abstract
For hydraulics, hydrology, water resources, geophysics or environmental problems, the immediate future is powerful workstations, LANs, optical disks, 3-D interactive graphics and other sophisticated software packages, combined with huge government-maintained data bases and high-speed regional networks. GIS functions and capabilities exist in this framework, but the stand-alone GIS, like the Dodo or the stand-alone word processor, is likely to become an extinct oddity.
