Use of Modern GIS Technologies in the Analysis of Hydrological Data for the Alkabeer Alshamali River in Syria.

Increased public awareness, stricter measures, and new laws in the field of water resources have made the use of modern computer technology indispensable in the fields of science and technology. Thus, geographic information systems (GISs) are most in demand as they can be used as effective tools for storing, managing, and presenting spatial hydrological data and are essential in water resources management tasks. The application of GIS technology to water resources is steadily expanding. Recently, a lot of software provided by modern GIS has appeared. These software products solve various hydrological tasks, including hydrological modeling of surface water, groundwater, water supply, and sewerage systems, as well as rainwater pollution simulation. This article reviews and analyzes modern GIS software products that are significant in the analysis of hydrological data. The study aims to highlight the differences between various programs and use the results to determine which software is the best, regardless of whether it is paid or open source.
