This report documents the methods used to refine and update land use data for the new Chesapeake Bay Watershed Model. The origin of this work goes back to January 1983 when Northern Virginia Planning District C, Annadale, Virginia, issued a report documenting its work in developing a basin model for the Chesapeake Bay Program. The proprietory nature of the NVPDC model and the fact that its operation reuired an IBM mainframe system led the Chesapeake Bay Program Modeling Subcommittee to recommend trasfer of the Basin Model to the DEC VAX computer at the Chesapeake Bay Liaison Office (CBLO).
