The LUS classification system will be based on concatenation of three categories: land-use potential, contribution to catchment contaminant delivery, and pressure in receiving environments (Fig. 1). The rationale for this approach is that every unique pair of a land parcel and a receiving environment can be represented by a categorical description of the land parcel, the receiving environment, and the inherent potential for that land parcel to contribute to the pressures in the receiving environment.
