In general , the Department ' s administration is responsible for coordination of the divisions ' <br /> technical needs . <br /> GIS utilization varies within the divisions of the Department. At present, GIS is currently being <br /> used in the Soil and Water Conservation District and the Telecommunications Division ; these <br /> users are Level 2 and Level 3 GIS users at present Isee Chapter 2: GIS Organizational <br /> Structure and Staffing for more information on the various tiers of GIS users , including Level 3 <br /> GIS Users ) .
