The categories were consolidated to produce the maps included with this page. This is not the data that will be used in the SWAT model. The data for Kansas does not contain enough categories to be useful. The replacement for the Kansas data will be from the GAP project. This data should be available in January of 2000. GAP data for Oklahoma should be available in November 1999. For now LULC data is used in trial model runs.
New !!!
