Data Requirements for Army Land Use Planning and Management.
Abstract
Data needed for Department of the Army (DA) installation natural resources management and planning were surveyed and analyzed to aid compliance with existing and projected Army policies. The methodology used included a survey of the data requirements of 32 currently available analytical models and a subsequent survey of existing data sources to supply input into those models. The analytical models surveyed covered areas such as soil erosion, flood susceptibility, groundwater pollution, watershed runoff, wildlife management, visual impact, agricultural productivity, forest management, air quality, water quality, and noise levels. Criteria for analytical models and data sources are suggested. Five data sources selected from among 16 surveyed, are reviewed in detail, and their performance as input sources to the surveyed analytical models is evaluated. (Author)
