| Summary: | Computers are a powerful tool when used for handling environmental data. The computer
industry is going through a period of rapid growth and keeping current is difficult, even for computer
specialists. However it is becoming increasingly important that persons handling environmental data
keep somewhat familiar with the hardware and software options available in order to remain as
productive as possible when manipulating environmental data.
The recent strategy of various provincial regulatory authorities to require electronic transfer of
compliance monitoring data in the near future indicates the universality of this mechanism of
environmental data handling. This development will undoubtedly cause growth pains by all parties.
Consequently, all operations will be affected directly or indirectly by the application of computers to
their environmental commitments. However these difficulties are more than offset by the significant
benefits which allow quick response to a wide range of complex questions presented by regulatory
agencies and internal company management. |
