Estimating Nonpoint Source Pollution in North Texas Watersheds through Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
Description:
Monitoring nonpoint source pollution in a large area is often impractical. However, estimating nonpoint pollution through use of empirical models such as the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) provides a basis for identifying problem areas, and setting management priorities. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of using Landsat imagery and existing geographic data to estimate the effects of land use changes on water quality in four North Texas watersheds over a twelve yea…
