EAD will showcase how GIS can help Abu Dhabi manage and protect the environment.

"At EAD, we have used GIS technology as a critical support tool to make environmental data clearer to decision makers,"
said Entesar Al Hosani, Manager, Environmental Information Management Department, EAD.

Al Hosani noted that GIS technology has been an integral part of EAD since its inception.

Back in 1994, EAD's leaders recognized the need for GIS and immediately recruited a GIS Manager.

In 2007, EAD was awarded the Excellence in GIS Implementation Award by GISTEC.

This award is given to organizations that foster innovation and experimentation in the area of GIS implementation.
