Researchers have been in the process of creating digital representations or features of historical water bodies in New Jersey to map and identify problem areas with a history of flooding and sewer overflow problems. By utilizing the NJDEP’s Land Use/Land Cover of New Jersey 2020 dataset, the researchers were able to contrast that against identified historical water bodies and examine how the size and shape of these water bodies have changed over time.
