THE WATER ENCYCLOPEDIA: HYDROLOGIC DATA AND INTERNET RESOURCES4-2 q 2006 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC Table 4A.1 Hydrologic Effects of Urbanization Change in Land or Water Use Possible Hydrologic Effect Transition from Pre-Urban to Early-Urban Stage: Removal of trees or vegetation Decrease in transpiration and increase in storm flow Construction of scattered city-type houses and limited water and sewage facilities Increased sedimentation of streams Drilling of wells Some lowering of water table Construction of septic tanks and sanitary drains Some increase in soil moisture and perhaps a rise in water table. Perhaps some waterlogging of land and contamination of nearby wells or streams from overloaded sanitary drain system Transition from Early-Urban to Middle-Urban State: Bulldozing of land for mass housing, some topsoil removed, farm ponds filled in Accelerated land erosion and stream sedimentation and aggradation. Increased flood flows. Elimination of smallest streams Mass construction of houses, paving of streets, building of culverts Decreased infiltration, resulting in increased flood flows and lowered groundwater levels. Occasional flooding at channel constrictions (culverts) on remaining small streams. Occasional overtopping or undermining of banks of artificial channels on small streams Discontinued use and abandonment of some shallow wells Rise in water table Diversion of nearby streams for public water supply Decrease in runoff between points of diversion and disposal Untreated or inadequately treated sewage discharged into streams or disposal wells Pollution of stream or wells. Death of fish and other aquatic life. Inferior quality of water available for supply and recreation at downstream populated areas Transition from Middle-Urban to Late-Urban Stage: Urbanization of area completed by addition of more houses and streets and of public, commercial, and industrial buildings Reduced infiltration and lowered water table. Streets and gutters act as storm drains, creating higher flood peaks and lower base flow of local streams Larger quantities of untreated waste discharged into local streams Increased pollution of streams and concurrent increased loss of aquatic life. Additional degradation of water available to downstream users Abandonment of remaining shallow wells because of pollution Rise in water table Increase in population requires establishment of new water- supply and distribution systems, construction of distant reservoirs diverting water from upstream sources within or outside basin Increase in local streamflow if supply is from outside basin Channels of streams restricted at least in part to artificial channels and tunnels Increased flood damage (higher stage for a given flow). Changes in channel geometry and sediment load. Aggradation Construction of sanitary drainage system and treatment plant for sewage Removal of additional water from the area, further reducing infiltration and recharge of aquifer Improvement of storm drainage system A definite effect is alleviation or elimination of flooding of basements, streets, and yards, with consequent reduction in damages, particularly with respect to frequency of flooding Drilling of deeper, large-capacity industrial wells Lowered water-pressure surface of artesian aquifer; perhaps some local overdrafts (withdrawal from storage) and land subsidence. Overdraft of aquifer may result in salt-water encroachment in coastal areas and in pollution or contamination by inferior or brackish waters Increased use of water for air conditioning Overloading of sewers and other drainage facilities. Possibly some recharge to water table, due to leakage of disposal lines Drilling of recharge wells Raising of water-pressure surface Waste-water reclamation and utilization Recharge to groundwater aquifers. More efficient use of water resources Note: A selected sequence of changes in land and water use associated with urbanization. Source: U.S. Geological Survey.
