Unlike ordinary maps, spatial images offer more comprehensive information, for example, information on hydrology such as the study of of drainage systems, surface and ground water, conducting preliminary studies for erecting dams and selecting the most appropriate sites for these dams are but some of the information that can be extracted from these images.
