Landuse AnalysisLanduse Analysis
Austin Troy’s Landuse Raster Dataset
Inconsistent pixelation, distored landuse counts in each watershed
In the future: overlay watersheds on landuse layer, count total pixels of each landcover type

Roads DefinitionRoads Definition
Any impervious surface, paved or heavily compacted
Miles of road in each watershed Non-point source for phosphorus, toxic
substances, land fragmenation, and barrier to aquatic organisms
Roads layer provided by Habitat Fragmentation group
In future: divide by watershed, determine total road miles
