This paper Based on the composition, types, functions and applications in the field of geographic information systems, analyzes the advantages of GIS technology in environmental impact assessment. From the project environmental impact assessment (EIA) of the limitations of departure, outlining the current status of the EIA study, while an overview of the geographic information system (GIS) functionality and applications, focusing on the status of the application of environmental impact assessment in the field of geographic information systems Necessity and Prospect. And use some of the existing management and analysis of environmental monitoring information system based on GIS examples further illustrate the application of GIS in Environmental Monitoring Data Management Analysis, give full play to the advantages of GIS spatial information processing and comprehensive analysis of expression, making the environmental monitoring data more effective.

Thematic Information

Geographical applications in EIA studies is appropriate to build up and extend their knowledge and skills in using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), and obtain practical experience in the application of GIS technologies and disciplines. This article highlights emerging topics related to the principles and practice of EIA, including concepts, tools and methods, and related issues. GIS as a tool will be used to visually illustrate the implications of spatial decisions. GIS is applied in all EIA stages: from the acquisition, storage and display of thematic information relative to the vulnerability of the affected resources, to impact prediction and qualification, evaluation, and finally, presentation. This paper highlights how GIS applications using in EIA process in different countries and find out possibility to incorporate those applications in EIA studies in Nepal.Hydro Nepal: Journal of  Water, Energy and Environment, Issue 4 2009 pp.21-23
