Mapping urban growth and investigating its potential impact on surface water quality in Chattanooga, Tennessee using GIS and remote sensing
Urban development involves the conversion of land cover from pervious to impervious surfaces. Impervious surfaces (IS) can have ramifications for urban stormwater and facilitate the movement of pollutants and other substances to nearby water bodies. This study investigated the changes in IS in and …
