“Why is estimating impervious surface levels so important?”

Impervious surfaces cause water to build up. During floods, this can lead to disastrous consequences. To create adaptation capacity, one of the actions local governments should take is to look into Estimating Impervious Surface and retrofit based upon current capabilities. One way to find this is to go to the Multi-Resolution Land Use Consortium’s data.
