| The
National Spatial Reference System (NSRS)
is a set of permanent monuments that act
as the foundation for many activities requiring
accurate spatial information. For example,
when construction workers are working near
a building, they need to know where the building
lies in relation to power lines. Without
the NSRS, the location of the buildings and
the power line are unclear. Roll
your computer mouse over the image below
to see the difference the NSRS can make.
By comparing the coordinates for the location
of the building and the power lines, the
construction team will have a clear picture
of where things lie and can avoid potentially
dangerous situations. Printable
