Basin & Range.<br />

L<strong>and</strong> Use<br />

Forest <strong>and</strong> vacant l<strong>and</strong> are the dominant l<strong>and</strong> uses in the northern basins. Grass,<br />

shrubl<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> urban uses are the dominant l<strong>and</strong> uses in the southern basins (Table 33).<br />

Overall, the most developed watersheds are the Santa Ana, Russian, <strong>and</strong> Santa Margarita<br />

rivers. The Santa Ana watershed encompasses portions of San Bernardino, Los Angeles,<br />

Riverside, <strong>and</strong> Orange counties. About 50% of the coastal subbasin in the Santa Ana<br />

watershed is dominated by urban l<strong>and</strong> uses <strong>and</strong> the population density is about 1,500<br />

people per square mile. When steep <strong>and</strong> undevelopable l<strong>and</strong>s are excluded from this<br />

area, the population density in the watershed is about 3,000 people per square mile.<br />

However, the most densely populated portion of the basin is near the City of Santa Ana.<br />

Here, the population density reaches 20,000 people per square mile (Burton, Izbicki et al.<br />

1998; Belitz, Hamlin et al. 2004). The basin is home to nearly 5 million people.<br />

However, this population is projected to increase two-fold in the next 50 years (Burton,<br />

Izbicki et al. 1998; Belitz, Hamlin et al. 2004).
