Has completed an impervious cover assessment (system-level)

At an individual system level, this metric shows if the municipality has completed an impervious cover assessment. An impervious cover assessment measures the acreage of impervious area in the municipality that generates stormwater runoff. Impervious area is land that stops water from infiltrating into the ground, including surfaces made of asphalt, concrete, brick, or stone as well as building roofs. During small and large rainfall events, areas with more impervious surfaces experience more runoff. By completing impervious cover assessments, municipalities can understand which areas experience excessive runoff and are therefore in need of green infrastructure.
