Project Overview
With a perceived increase in the frequency and intensity of cyanobacterial algal blooms in Lake of the Woods (LOW), there has been an increased effort to collect information about the nature of algal blooms, nutrient concentrations and sources of nutrients to the LOW. As part of this effort, land cover maps of the LOW Watershed are needed as inputs to hydrology models and analyses of land use and land use change.The goal of this project is to produce land cover classifications and land use change maps of the LOW Watershed for the ~1990 and ~2010 time periods, and will tabulate and summarize all data by sub-watersheds.
