The sealing of soils by impervious materials is, normally, detrimental to its ecological
functions. Exchanges of energy, water and gases are restricted or hampered and an …

Increases in urbanization have led to increased stormwater runoff and mobilization of
pollutants from urban watersheds. Discharge of these pollutants often leads to …

Urban development has led to an increase in urban runoff, accompanied with a decrease in
