PREFACE
Surveying has been important since the beginning of civilization. Today, the
importance of measuring and monitoring our environment is becoming
increasingly critical as our population expands land values appreciates, our
natural resources dwindle, and human activities continue to pollute our land,
water and air. As a result, the breadth and diversity of practice of surveying, as
well as its importance in modern civilization is increasing from time to time.
Surveying is a discipline, which encompasses all methods for measuring,
processing, and disseminating information about the physical earth and our
environment.
