Abstract
Riparian Land Use Estimation Using GIS and Remote SensingTrack: Water Resources
Author(s): Mark L. Caldwell
A land use/land cover classification was merged with buffered areas formed around streams. The resulting data allows biologists and planners to assess individual stream segments based on the percentage of each land use type. The data is being used to identify stream segments with poor corridors for inclusion in stream habitat improvement programs. It is also being used to identify less impacted reaches for protection and for rating streams for Missouri Aquatic GAP.
