(Introduction to Impervious L-THIA)

Land Use Change Scenarios

Users must identify the current land use for a specific area, and can describe up to two land use change scenarios. Users can select as many land use descriptions as necessary to describe the current land use or land use change scenarios.

Users must also describe the percentage impervious for each land use and the land use description's size and soil type. Size can be entered in either acres, square miles, hectares, or square kilometers. If unknown, soil types can be determined using the link below to GIS maps of your region. (Important: All Scenarios must have the same total area. The proportions of the total area of the current land use and each of the land use change scenarios vary but the total areas must remain equal for L-THIA to run).
