This data set a GIS-based landscape (Level one) assessment of the water quality and habitat benefits of non-tidal wetlands (NWI) in Virginia utilizing land cover from four years (2001, 2006, 2011, and 2016). The model assessment uses remote sensing and GIS technology to characterize land use patterns and features around wetlands such as surrounding land cover and density of roads as well as individual wetland characteristics such as wetland size and type to determine the wetlands overall condition as related to habitat and water quality functions. The water quality analysis determines the percentages of different land covers and features within the contributing drainage area of the wetland.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "To assess nontidal wetlands for their ability to perform habitat and water quality functions.", "title": "NWI_Wetlands_InundationPathways_wm", "tags": [ "Virginia", "Habitat Function", "environment", "geoscientificInformation", "Hydrography", "Wetlands", "NWI", "marshes", "Water Quality Function", "U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service", "inlandWaters", "National Wetlands Inventory", "inlandWaters", "geoscientificInformation", "USFWS", "environment", "Surface water" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 50000, "maxScale": 5000, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "Nontidal wetland data is from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory.", "licenseInfo": "

These data should not be used for jurisdictional permit determinations beyond providing general condition or status information. These data have not been surveyed to property boundaries. ****As noted in the NWI metadata: Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in a different manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to establish the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons intending to engage in activities involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate federal, state, or local agencies concerning specified agency regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may affect such activities.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "portalUrl": "" }
