Impact of Urban Land-Cover Classification on Groundwater Recharge Uncertainty

Objective and detailed mapping of urban land-cover types over large areas is important for hydrological modelling, as most man-made land-cover consist of sealed surfaces which strongly reduce groundwater recharge. Moreover, impervious surfaces are the predominant type in urbanized areas and can lead to increased surface runoff. Classification of man-made objects in urbanized areas is not straightf...
