Introduction to Arc. GIS Software GIS in Water Resources (CIVE 898) Fall 2015 Instructor: Dr. Ayse Kilic Civil Engineering and School of Natural Resources University of Nebraska

History of GIS – Advent of computer in late 50’s, early 60’s—computerized mapping programs, but NOT “GIS” – No attribute data

Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ESRI founded in 1969—grew from research group at Harvard. Current vector-based (arcs/nodes) Arc. GIS software an outgrowth of this research.
