A Decision Support System is a computer-based information system that supports policy and decision making in  natural resources management. The system supports decision making processes at management and operational levels. The blending of GIS and Earth Observation capabilities greatly enhances the potential of real-time accurate decision making in  modelling and forecasting environmental phenomena. Over the last decade, many DSSs have been developed by various institutions and organisations around the world to provide solutions to diverse problems and challenges in the areas of water management, environmental pollution, transportation congestions  and many more. The growing 3D modelling visualisation capability of computing age, provides a further enhancement of DSSs in the near future.
