DescriptionA build-out analysis maps potential future development across the landscape under specific sets of constraints. The goal of this project is to understand the impacts of future development on the water resources in the Cohansey Watershed. Build-out scenarios were created based on regulations and environmental constraints. To identify the potential impacts of build-out, we used two resource indicators. Population size was used as a measure of residential water demand, and impervious surface cover was used as a measure of non-point source water pollution from urban run-off. Comparisons between the results of the indicators from 1995 and build-out can provide insight into the magnitude of future impacts on water resources.
