The term “urban stream syndrome” describes the consistently observed ecological
degradation of streams draining urban land. This paper reviews recent literature to describe …

We reviewed the literature on the effects of land use changes on mediterranean river
ecosystems (med-rivers) to provide a foundation and directions for future research on …

Storm-water pollutants are widely recognized as a major cause of surface water quality
degradation. Most storm-water treatment efforts have focused on capture of particles and …

Direct consequences of the human role, where human activity affects river channels through
engineering works including channelization, dam construction, diversion and culverting …

Over the past 50 years considerable progress has been made in understanding the impacts
of urban development on river processes and forms. Such advances have occurred as …

Control of stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces is an important national goal because
of disruptions to downstream ecosystems, water users, and property owners caused by …

Development continues at a rapid pace throughout the country. Runoff from the impervious
surfaces in these watersheds continues to be a major cause of degradation to freshwater …

Urban development modifies the production and delivery of runoff to streams and the
resulting rate, volume, and timing of streamflow. Given that streamflow demonstrably …

The land use in the reticular river network areas (RRNAs) in China has changed during the
past decades. Because of the special hydrological conditions, there are challenges in …

Stormwater control measures (SCMs) are designed to mitigate deleterious effects of
urbanization on river networks, but our ability to predict the cumulative effect of multiple …
