In 1999-2000, to improve our NEMO impervious
surface modeling efforts research
was conducted to generate Connecticut-specific land use/land cover
(LULC) impervious
surface coefficients. Accurate, large-scale and up-to-date planimetric
data were used from four Connecticut municipalities (right).
These data include the outlines, or footprints, of specific landscape
features, thus allowing us to create a digital GIS database of
impervious surface features that included buildings, roads, driveways,
sidewalks and other constructed landscape features (bottom, in
a detail from the town of Marlborough). |
Planimetric data from these four towns was
used to create accurate land cover coefficients.
