Land Use

Development is heavy in the upper and southwestern regions, while the mid to lower regions are sparsely developed. Several parks and a nature preserve are located along the lower third of the channel. Due to the close proximity to Johnson Space Center, Houston Ship Channel, and the Clear Lake area, urbanization is expected to rapidly continue in the near future.

Environment

The watershed hosts the 2,000-acre Armand Bayou Park and Nature Center at its mouth. An ongoing study is investigating the possibilities of creating habitat along the upper two-thirds of the channel and of linking regional detention sites and parks in the watershed in order to establish recreational and habitat corridors.
