Land UseRemote Sensing was utilized to map land useRemote sensing uses instruments mounted on satellites to produce images that displayed watershed for each site.This information was formulated with impervious quotient as set forth by the Atlanta Regional Commission and Adopt-a-Stream.We compared this spatial information over a period 8 years in 6 intervals (2003, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009 2011)
