Note générale : |
This study was begun in 1962 to define urban runoff and sediment problems and was expanded in 1966 to evaluate response to sediment control practices inarea undergoing urban development. Land use/land cover varied considerably in the study sublasins, which ranged in size from 0,35 to 21,1 square mile. Three subbasins remained virtually rural, while the others underwent urban development. In 1974, urban land represented from 0 to 60 percent of the land use in the nine subbasins. Urbanization did not affect median and low flows, but did increase storm runoff and peak discharges. |
