Potential of GIS Systems and Remote Sensing Technologies for Groundwater Control in Transboundary Areas in China

This article discusses the potential of GIS technologies for water resources control. Particular attention is paid to the application of these technologies to groundwater control in the border areas of China, Russia, Mongolia and Kazakhstan, where GIS can monitor, analyses and visualize groundwater data in real time, thereby improving the efficiency of groundwater resource control and bringing significant benefits in addressing groundwater protection and use issues.
