GPS World May 3, 2017 - Tim Burch, NSPS Secretary
Ask anyone what time means to them, and they will give you a different answer. Benjamin Franklin famously stated that "time is money." Time for the surveyor can mean being out in the field retracing a boundary, drafting a plat or working with a client to help them see their goals achieved. Just like any other profession, time can be a friend or foe for the surveyor. We seem to run out of it more than we have an excess of it. Either way, time marches on as we go about our business.

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce last week held a legislative hearing examining 10 bills to promote and modernize the nation’s hydropower and pipeline infrastructure. The bills examined were the subject of previous hearings in which a subcommittee reviewed the federal licensing process and recommendations to improve coordination between government agencies, promote new infrastructure, and ensure consumers have access to affordable, reliable electricity generated from hydropower. The subcommittee also held a hearing in February examining the state of America’s evolving energy infrastructure and barriers to innovation, modernization, job creation, and economic growth.

A recent Congressional Research Service (CRS) report found that in recent years, policymakers have considered several legislative options to help finance water infrastructure projects, including projects to build and upgrade wastewater and drinking water treatment systems, and in particular a "Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act" (WIFIA) program, which Congress included in the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 (WRRDA, P.L. 113-121). The WIFIA concept is modeled after the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA), a similar program that assists transportation projects.

Point of Beginning
Now is a special time for geospatial service providers. Many call it as important a time in the history of geospatial technology as the introduction of geographic information systems. Arguably, unmanned aerial systems and 3-D data acquisition tools are undergoing some of the most notable innovations, impacting aerial surveyors and mappers most.
