     belowthe figure below, road in green and river in white). In this case, the user should open the merged land cover, the road and the hydrographic network layers in a GIS software and:
    1. Generate a buffer with a radius equivalent to 1.75 time the resolution of the original land cover grid (in light blue in

      b figure b below);
    2. Put the hydrographic network layer in the editing mode and move the concerned segments outside of the buffer area as presented in

      anchorbridges
      c below (highlighted blue line). You might also want to adjust the way the hydrographic network cuts the road network by placing them perpendicularly as also shown in

    3. Save your edits, import the new layer in AccessMod and run the merge land cover tool once again. The new resulting merged land cover should then look like presented in
