The Eye on Earth project from the European Environment Agency allows people to discover bathing water quality on beaches all over the world.
Environmental issues are causing us to look at new uses of location information.

Long term reductions in environmental impact require a deep, network level view of cause and effect. Short term reductions in environmental impact require the capacity for effective, rapid response. Geographic information and tools help deliver both.
Control the risks
From sewage overflow to the risks of flooding and the dangers of pollution, GIS allows the multiple sources of catchment information to be managed and interpreted in relation to each other and the network.
Effective Incident response
Ensure faster incident response by integrating all relevant information in a common operational picture for all agencies involved. By bringing together the problem area (flooding, leakage, customers affected, property and infrastructure affected) together with response (field crews, water bowsers, emergency services) the right decisions come faster.
Build for the future
Spatial intelligence arms you with the foresight to locate facilities and manage maintenance so the environmental impact and risk of natural disasters is minimised.
British Waterways better manages Britain's canals and rivers with centralised information.
