The goal of this dataset was to rectify and update existing 1995 Land Use data using a combination of SJRWMD, SFWMD, and SWFWMD Land uses from 2000. Land Use boundaries are not always well defined, however, given the use of ancillary data sources to determine feature boundaries, it is expected that data acreage should be accurate.

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries.

1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level.

1:250000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analyses. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

FGDL QUALITY ASSURANCE STATUS:

-Merged Land Use layers then ran topology in ArcCatalog to get rid of gaps and overlaps
-Reprojected data to FGDL Albers
-Added DESCRIPT item based on Land Use Classification FLUCCS

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

The statewide landuse/landcover data set was created by merging together 3 separate datasets 
covering the geographic extent of the Florida Water Management Districts.  For overlapping areas, 
precedence was given in the following order: SWFWMD, SJRWMD, SFWMD.
