Summary
Abstract: Fundamental GIS: Digital Chart of China, 1:1M, Version 1 consists of vector maps of China and surrounding areas. The maps include roads, railroads, drainage systems, contours, populated places, and urbanized areas for China proper, as well as for China and neighboring countries. The maps are at a scale of one to one million (1:1M). This dataset is produced in collaboration with the University of Washington as part of the China in Time and Space (CITAS) project and the Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).

The data in ARC/INFO Export (ARCE) format are available from the NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC).

Purpose: To provide fundamental GIS maps of China, and neighboring countries and regions.

Quality Fuel used by the station incinerator is one of the indicators of the quantity of waste generated on the station.

Changes in the quantity of fuel used provide an indication of efficiencies in plant, energy and waste saving strategies and/or an indication of the ambient temperature.

This indicator is a measure of the amount of fuel used to incinerate waste at the stations. ... View entire text
