This data which resides in EPA's Spatial Data Library (ESDLS), is useful for environmental assessment of land use patterns with respect to water quality analysis, growth management, and other types of environmental impact assessment. GIRAS LU/LC is being used in EPA's, Office of Water/OST BASINS water quality assessment model. Purpose: To use the GIRAS landuse/landcover spatial data in BASINS.
