## Abstract Watershed models are valuable tools used in the study of impacts of land use/cover (LULC) changes on hydrology. We use the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to study the impacts of LULC changes in a coastal Alabama watershed, where flow data did not exist at the onset of the study.
Accurate and up-to-date data describing land use and land cover change support studies of urban growth such as quantifying the amount of rural to urban change and identifying change trajectories. This paper compares three methods for identifying urban land use/land cover, based on aerial photography
