From the supplier: The acquisition of data for geographic information systems (GIS) and state-of-the-art computer simulations of models of watersheds and soil dynamics is expensive. Other methods such as the construction of riparian buffer strips near streams provide a cheaper alternative in the management of watersheds compared to GIS or computer simulations. Furthermore, riparian buffers and similar cost-effective alternatives are suited for short-term land management strategies under limited budgets.
