Area	Santa Rosa
Topic	Land Use: Piner Creek Watershed

 

Caption:  This chart shows that more than 75% of the Piner Creek watershed has been developed. The Roadway and Commercial components, which are likely near 100% impervious, cover well over a quarter of the watershed. This amount of total impervious area (TIA) causes increased flood flows and a loss of biodiversity (May et al., 1996). Data are from the Sustainable Land Stewardship Institute (2002) and a study performed for the City of Santa Rosa. See InfoLinks for more information.
