Area	Santa Rosa
Topic	Land Use: Brush Creek Watershed

 

Caption:  This chart shows that approximately 75% of the Brush Creek watershed has been developed. This pattern of development is associated with a large amount of total impervious area in the watershed which increases flood peaks, contributes to down cutting and reduces biodiversity (May et al., 1996). The Roadway category is 100% impervious but the Residential development may vary depending on the extent of landscaping and density of building. Data are from the Sustainable Land Stewardship Institute (2002) and a study performed for the City of Santa Rosa. See InfoLinks for more information.
