With current computer power, QGIS, and readily accessible spatial data from LINZ, NIWA, Landcare Research, councils, MFE, etc, GIS is no longer the province of a few technical experts. QGIS also provides an extensible platform for purpose specific tools to work with NIWA data, and NIWA is continuing to actively develop and enhance it, to better meet the needs of NIWA staff, with those enhancements automatically available to anyone, anywhere, who is using QGIS. As a desktop tool rather than a web based application, users are easily able to use local datasets, perhaps private or confidential, in conjunction with NIWA's data.
