Streamflow Variations with Population Growth on Urbanizing Catchments in the United States
Publication: Watershed Management and Operations Management 2000
Abstract
Large variations were found in the effect of population density on streamflow in a statistical analysis of historical streamflow and climatic data for 39 urbanizing watersheds in the United States. Population density impacts on streamflow were not significantly different among seasons of the year or among high and low-flow classes. However, both low and high flow rates increased with population density growth. Streamflow exhibited greater sensitivity to population density increases in the NC and W regions, than S and NE regions of the United States.
