Water
There are multiple ways land is used for water.
Agriculture-Water: pasture/field with a pond or stream running through
Undeveloped-Water: wooded or unimproved land that has no apparent use other than water flowing through it (wild plant and animal life aside)
Infrastructure-Water: Water treatment plants, water towers
Government-Water: Land owned by a government entity that is used for water drainage. Could this be simplified to Infrastructure?
Progress on layer
Initial pass is complete. It involved individual visual checks of every polygon against the 2011 aerial images. What remains is cleanup and refinement, which will take far less time but as much thought.
