Abstract
This dataset delineates impervious surfaces within the Cayuga Lake Watershed. However, the current dataset is limited to Cayuga County. These polygons were digitized from aerial imagery from 2003, using a combination of automatic and manual methods.
Purpose
This geographic dataset was developed by the Cayuga Lake Watershed Network as part of a larger project, in conjunction with Dr. Douglas Haith and Cornell University, to model nutrient loading in the Cayuga Lake watershed. The model used is the Generalized Watershed Loading Function (Haith and Shoemaker, 1987). Haith, D.A. and L.L. Shoemaker, 1987. Generalized Watershed Loading Functions for Stream Flow Nutrients. Water Resources Bulletin, 23(3), pp. 471-478.

Data Quality Information
Attribute Accuracy Report
Mapping impervious surfaces by manual digitization may provide the most accurate geospatial data. For regions in which impervious surfaces have been mapped, the accuracy of the geospatial data is expected to be extremely high.
Logical Consistency Report
unknown
Completeness Report
Includes impervious areas within the intersection of the Cayuga Lake Watershed and Cayuga County.
