Impervious Surface Land Cover Data for Municipal Stormwater Management
High-precision land cover vector data for geospatial analytics to support municipal stormwater management, SUF calculation, flood modeling, & impervious surface mapping.
Enhance your stormwater management strategy with high-precision land cover data
Ecopia's AI-based mapping systems ingest satellite, aerial, and street-view imagery to extract high-precision vector maps in a fraction of the time it takes to manually digitize features. The result? Comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date geospatial data that hundreds of US government organizations rely on for strategic decision-making.
Check out this sample of data from Detroit and imagine how a comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date municipal impervious surface database could inform your own stormwater strategy.
Planimetric-level detail at scale for high-precision stormwater mapping
Ensure SUFs are distributed fairly with an up-to-date view of land cover, including detailed layers for distinct impervious and natural features.
Understand how land use change impacts stormwater infrastructure and hazard risks with frequent data updates, no manual digitization required.
Analyze land cover to identify natural hazard risks and develop stormwater infrastructure that supports mitigation and resilience efforts.
Enhance municipal flood models with runoff coefficients and similar surface drainage metrics derived from high-precision land cover features.
Strategically expand the development of sustainable infrastructure to support your stormwater goals, including vegetated medians, green roofs, and similar features.
Ecopia works with hundreds of public works directors, stormwater teams, and other US government professionals to scale geospatial data creation without sacrificing accuracy.

See what stormwater & climate resilience professionals have to say about Ecopia
Ecopia’s ability to create a high-accuracy product was critical, but their ability to maintain the dataset is what really differentiates them from our previous efforts. This directly translates into a cost and time savings.
High-resolution land cover data is an integral part of understanding the relationship between the population and our planet, and provides an essential foundation to a wide range of geospatial analytics for climate resilience, sustainability, and other key initiatives.
Ecopia’s ability to efficiently extract all land cover features, whether manmade or natural, enables us to develop flood models that represent reality.
The outputs from Ecopia will be very helpful in the future as it can be used to track for development and land cover changes. One of the main benefits from the Ecopia product is that manual delineation of polygons is not required, thus saving a significant amount to update a previous dataset.
