Comparepredicted amount of imperviousness to: • highly accurate and precise planimetric data • NLCD 2001 impervious surface layer • CCL 2002 impervious surface layer • ISAT derived impervious surface data (NLCD, CCL) Objectives Describe functionality of newly developed ETIS tool
Rooftops Transportation System • Roads • Sidewalks • Driveways • Parking lots • Buildings • Pools • Patios Impervious Surface (IS) The imprint of land development on the landscape:
