Impact of Urbanization on Water Yield,Flood Peak Sediment Yield,and Water Quality in the Berkeley Hills,California.

摘要

The objective of this project was to determine the impact of urbanization on the hydrologic characteristics of watersheds in the Berkeley Hills of central California. The initial approach was to calibrate three stream gaging stations prior to the development of one watershed above one of these stations and to follow changes in hydrologic characteristics during and subsequent to development. A summary of data on annual water yield,characteristics of flood peaks,sediment yield,and water quality for the three non-urban watersheds is presented.
