Develop a land use-peak runoff classification system for highway engineering purposes

Abstract

The author has identified the following significant results. Based on the detail study of the Sunkhaze Stream Watershed, it is believed that good detailed drainage studies can be derived from repetitive ERTS imagery. Land use maps tailored to hydrologic study can be prepared from ERTS imagery. Significant changes in the Sunkhaze Stream and Otter Stream Watersheds at spring flood conditions have given important information on the causes for flooding in the town of Bradley
