Little has been done over the years to either automate the more labour intensive activities involved in flood plain mapping and management or to increase the efficiency and accuracy of handling applications for development or modification of hazard lands. A logical approach to addressing both of these shortcomings is to integrate a Geographic Information System (GIS) into the flood plain management process. For the water resources professional, a GIS-based flood plain management system would serve two primary functions. Firstly, it would serve as a front end to the modelling process, providing digital data for input into both hydraulic and hydrologic modelling programs.
