GIS Green Energy Management For The World’s Most Popular Renewable
By Land id
Hydropower isn’t new by any means; humans have been harnessing the power of water for thousands of years (though back then, the energy was mostly used for tasks such as grinding wheat into flour). It wasn’t until 1880 that hydropower was first used in the U.S. industrially. And two years later, in September of 1882, a Wisconsin plant on the Fox River became the first to sell the electricity it produced.

On September 4th, 1882, Thomas Edison permanently altered history. Late afternoon in lower Manhattan he flipped the switch on the Pearl Street Station’s generators, and thus, the electric grid was born.

Life would be wildly different if we didn’t have maps. From highlighting important trends to helping us find our way to new places, these visualizations shape our perception of the world.

Occasionally, cartographers will even sneak a fictional city into their maps to catch copycats (Google Maps does it too - ever heard of Argleton, England?). All of that is to say, mapping experts contribute a great deal to society.

However, it’s not all doom and gloom; it’s certainly a tall order, but with forestry mapping software, we have all of the tools we need to begin giving and restoring our forests to their former glory.
