The Architecture of CyberGIS Service for Surface Water and Groundwater Interaction in Dynamic

Spatial and Temporal Scales

The definition of maps is no longer paper maps. It is an integration of hardware, software, human activity, databases, observations, analysis and more to be presented ubiquitously in various spatial and temporal scales in multiple dimensions with prediction capabilities.
