Dynamics of Flooding, Pollution and Urbanization in Watersheds
Session ID#: 161840
Session Description:
The rapid increase in population and industrialization around the world has caused major urbanization to its local watersheds. Urbanization has increased the potential for hydrological alterations and channel disturbances along streams and bayous. Increase in urbanization is often associated with increased watershed imperviousness, increase in heat island effects, deterioration of water and air quality, and decrease in vegetation cover. There is a growing need to analyze and synthesize regional watershed responses to urbanization to improve understanding of environmental responses to land use change in urban areas.
