There are many ways to skin a parking lot! Measuring, estimating
and mapping impervious surfaces can be an important part of getting

with its own cost and accuracy considerations. Below, new techniques
and some of the trusty old ones are summarized, and where available,
we've linked our summaries to papers that provide additional technical
information. There's a lot there. Good hunting!
