Northwest Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD) 2015-2016 Land Use

Land Use - Land Cover information provides environmental scientists an understanding of the relationships between human activities, land surface physiography and water resources. A copy of the 2012-2013 NWFWMD db was used as a base in conjunction with 2015-2016 digital orthoimagery to update 2015-2016 database. Three new codes have also been added-- 2190: Wildlife Strip Crops; 7470: Dikes and Levees; 8315: Electric Power Sub Stations. A number of modification to existing code descriptions have also been made and these modifications can be found in the Photo Interpreter Key assigned to the 2015-2016 data.
