CEGIS is a scientifically independent organization and performs integrated environmental analysis using technologies like GIS, RS, IT and databases. It provides solutions to issues and problems in a wide range of sectors, such as water, land, agriculture, meteorology, forestry, fisheries, morphology, ecology, environment, climate change, archeology, socio-economy, power, transportation and disasters.

CEGIS has been conducting studies of different projects and provides its intellectual services since its birth. During carrying out the studies, a huge volume of information of different sectors has been collected and generated. At the same time CEGIS has produced lots of good quality reports and documents. The information so far generated was not stored in a systematic system that could be easily made available for other studies. In this context, a comprehensive database system has been developed to incorporate all these information into a central database system. As this database contains data and information related to all types of resources, we named it Comprehensive Resources Database. This database is an integrated database comprising tabular, spatial and time dependent data as well as reports and documents collected and generated under different studies of CEGIS. This web enabled system intends to preserve and disseminate the data and information to optimize CEGIS resources and maximize its utilization.

CEGIS is a scientifically independent organization in Bangladesh for integrated environmental analysis using GIS, Remote Sensing (RS), IT and Databases and provides solution to the issues and problems of water resources, land resources, agriculture, fisheries, engineering, transportation and environment, etc.

CEGIS' services and products include Integrated Environmental Analysis such as IEE, EIA, SIA, Environmental and Social Monitoring Studies, Development of Environmental Guidelines; Resettlement Action Plan; Analytical Framework for Planning for IWRM; Spatial Analysis using GIS and RS for flood monitoring, drought assessment and monitoring, river plan-form changes, river erosion and accretion prediction, flood damage assessment, development of Digital Elevation Model (DEM), land-use planning, urban planning; development of web based spatial database, MIS and Decision Support System (DSS) for planning, designing, implementation and monitoring of water sector projects, etc.

Over the last 12 years, CEGIS has been preparing lots of primary data and also processing secondary data in a standard data format. CEGIS own a large database comprising spatial data as shape file, satellite images, hardcopy scan maps and tabular data. At the same time CEGIS generates lots of good quality reports and documents. In 'CEGIS Database', there is an intension to preserve these data and present in a systematic way. All newly produces data are stored in a single system and harmonize way. User friendly web based system helps to collect data quickly and efficiently.


Specific Objectives:
1. To prepare a integrated and intensive natural resource database
2. Prepare a web enable system for organized storage and dissemination of data
3. Prepare supplementary tools to expose data and easier external data receive
